Support for OSGi Alliance MQTT API

Regarding the Java client implementation, it might be interesting to note that the OSGi Alliance is also currently working on an MQTT client API that exploits the latest Java features and runs nicely within an OSGi framework. The current proposal is to have a Java 8 Streams like API that allows to process incoming MQTT messages asynchronously using lambda expressions.

It would be cool if Paho would support the OSGi spec out of the box or at least plays nicely with it. The OSGi spec design is far from complete so any feedback from the Paho community is welcome. The current design document can be found at https://github.com/osgi/design/blob/master/rfcs/rfc0229/RFC0229-MQTT.pdf

Best regards,

Start by reading the Java client implementation and the OSGi Alliance MQTT API proposal at RFC0229-MQTT.pdf. Compare the proposal with Paho's current client API and determine the required scope for OSGi support; the issue does not name files, tests, or a concrete completion condition.
