Spring-OSGI and Equinox [message #89958] Thu, 07 June 2007 11:51 Go to next message

Hi all

Does anyone here use Spring-OSGI project?
It looks very attractive.

I have a couple of questions about Spring-OSGI.

1.Spring-OSGI spec claims benefits for OSGi bundle developers.
One of these relates to OSGi service publishing/discovering.
How/what can the Equinox/Eclipse plugin developer benefit from Spring-OSGI?

As I understand Equinox extends OSGi spec by adding its own concept of
ExtensionPoints/Extensions. And I guess that Spring-OSGI knows nothing
about these extensions. And so, Equinox plugin developer can benefit
from Spring-OSGI only in case of using Equinox to develop just plain
OSGi bundles, but not a Equinox/Eclipse plugin. Is it right guess?

2.Just a newbie question.
What are relation and conceptual difference between OSGi services and
Equinox extension-point/extension mechanisms? For which tasks are OSGi
services enouht, and for which ones is only Equinox extension-point
suitable?

3.Question is actually for Spring-OSGI team.
How is current Spring-OSGI 1.0-M2 stable? Is it ready for using in
production?

See details about Spring-OSGI here:
http://www.springframework.org/osgi
especially
http://www.springframework.org/osgi/specification

Thanks in advance.

An excellent resource for learning about Spring-OSGi is the interview with
Adrian Colyer at InfoQ:

http://www.infoq.com/interviews/osgi-adrian-colyer

There is also a Google Group you can join that is tracking Spring-OSGi:
