Re: OSGi-ify JUnit / bug 2720888

I heard alot about OSGi as of late... many developers at work seem to be
behind it as a system. I will say that I've very little knowlege of the
subject.

However, from what I have seen/heard... OSGi is in the interprocess/service
communication space.  To that extent, I really don't see how I'd ever want
my tests framework to be exposed as a service.  Maybe I'm wrong here, I'd
love to hear arguments for it.

Could someone provide some simple use cases, where exposing JUnit as a
service would provide some value.
