Ok - for whoever will actually read this email - sorry it's late so my 
previous email
may be a bit confusing.
The project I mentioned (included the link) and the Apache CXF 
Distributed OSGi seem to
share similarities but the person who is working on that MS thesis is 
not really making
a strong case for his work to differentiate it from RFC 119 and its 
implementation. That's
why I was asking whether these are two different projects and apparently 
they are.

My other two questions were clear:
Apache CXF DOSGi is the RFC 119 implementation. I remember reading about 
that RFC
and its early draft release last August - can someone tell me when the 
implementation in CXF
(release 1) began?

Thanks - I need sleep.
