  • Webinar: OSGi and Equinox Jumpstart +1 week ago

    OSGi has been in the press a lot lately. Everywhere you turn there is some new product or project adopting the technology. From Eclipse to Apache to Spring. From servers to desktops to embedded. OSGi enables the creation of highly modular, dynamic Java-based systems.

    Wondering what its all about? Join book author and Equinox OSGi project co-lead Jeff McAffer (http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321561510) and PDE OSGi tooling lead Chris Aniszczyk for an introduction to Equinox and OSGi concepts and look at the breadth and depth of technology available in this space.

  • Eclipse plug-in puts TOGAF 9 into IDE collaboration mode for architects +1 week ago

    Based on the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF), an open-source project managed by the Eclipse Foundation, the TOGAF Customizer can be used to implement TOGAF 9 more easily. TOGAF is an industry-consensus framework and method for enterprise architecture (EA) developed by The Open Group, and released in February.

  • Equinox Update with Jeff McAffer - EclipseCon 2009 +11 weeks ago

    In this interview from EclipseCon, I talk with multi-RedMonkTV guest Jeff McAffer, one of the leads on the Equinox project. Having spoken with him about Equinox many times before, I start by asking him to give us an update on what’s been going on in Equinox-land of late. In doing so, we speak about how Equinox is related to the OSGi Enterprise and other specifications.

  • Riena - A New Adventure In Eclipse +12 weeks ago

    The Riena project has just released it's 1.0 version recently. In this article, I'll show you how to get going with Riena by walking you through my own experiences using the project. As well as providing a little background on the project I will show how to create a UI with Riena, and run through an example of remote services.

  • OSGi Takes Off Among Enterprise Service Bus Providers +17 weeks ago

    The OSGi Alliance announced that many leading Enterprise Service Bus providers in the market have demonstrated their commitment to the platform through the current or planned employment of OSGi technology in their ESBs and products that utilize ESBs.

What are others doing with Equinox?

  • "The push towards Eclipse, Equinox and OSGi in runtime scenarios has huge potential. So much so that we started Code 9 explicitly to provide the education, mentoring and technological expertise needed by companies looking to step up their IT agility."

  • "Equinox's OSGi framework is a great place to deploy Jetty, both as a host and as a plug-in. Webtide, the experts behind Jetty, congratulates the Eclipse Foundation on making Runtime a top level project."

  • "Equinox's OSGi implementation is at the core of BEA's microServices Architecture, allowing us to reduce time-to-market and cost of innovative, right-sized, and extensible products."

  • "Equinox has become one of the corner stones of MicroDocs Software strategy . In a number of successful projects it has proven to be an extremely reliable, efficient and feature rich framework. Equinox finally delivers on the software age old promise of a standard container."

  • "We are pleased to support the Eclipse Runtime Project since we are using Eclipse based tooling for our Artix and FUSE families of SOA infrastructure products," said Eric Newcomer, CTO, IONA Technologies. "IONA also supports the Apache ServiceMix project, which recently introduced an OSGi based implementation that works with Eclipse Equinox. Furthermore, because of our leadership in the OSGi Enterprise Expert Group we see an interesting future convergence between Eclipse and OSGi that has tremendous potential to influence the direction of enterprise computing infrastructure."
