xbean is what activemq 4.x and servicemix 2.x are using for wiring up
it's components. I think the the openejb folks are also jumping on
and starting to use it too. Seems like Dan from xfire, has started
to also drive requirements into so I guess xfire may start using it
soon too.

I've got a feeling it's complimentary. ActiveMQ and servicemix only
uses xbean for configuration wiring. The one thing I'm keeping an
eye on OSGi is for it's classpath/native library management (would
come in handy for servicemix).
