OSGi technology

OSGi technology is the dynamic module system for Java™

OSGi technology is Universal Middleware.
OSGi technology provides a service-oriented, component-based environment for developers and offers standardized ways to manage the software lifecycle. These capabilities greatly increase the value of a wide range of computers and devices that use the Java™ platform.

Formed in 1999, the OSGi Alliance focused initially on solutions for the Embedded Java and networked devices markets. As a result OSGi technology has been implemented and deployed in products and solutions throughout the world and across a range of markets. Today, OSGi technology also enjoys widespread acceptance in the Open Source community, as demonstrated by the Apache Felix and Derby projects, the Eclipse Callisto, Equinox and Corona projects, OSCAR, Knopflerfish, and others. As a result the core OSGi technology is now increasingly prevalent in the Enterprise, and it is also seen as the key component of a next generation Java Service Platform that enables the dynamic deployment of Web 2.0 services and Mashups.
