Description John Arthorne CLA 2006-08-16 12:20:18 EDT 
The OSGi R4 MEG specification includes an application model that significantly decouples the application from the rest of the system.  The net result is OSGi (and thus Eclipse) as a more flexible application container, for example allowing    multiple applications to run concurrently and improved lifecycle around the application.  These characteristics are important both to the manageability of the system (e.g., simplifying and clarifying the shutdown process) but also to various RCP scenarios such as Kiosk-mode and Application Container models. In 3.3 we will implement and adopt the MEG application model.
