title: Exporting Spring components as OSGi services
body: <p>Is it possible to automatically register a Spring <code>@Component</code> (or one of its specifications; e.g. <code>@Repository</code>) as an OSGi service? So I can use autowiring and all other benefits of Spring inside one bundle and OSGi Service Registry to communicate between bundles? </p>
