How to get Started with OSGiPlease become a member, adopter associate or supporter of the OSGi Alliance. The current specifications did not happen by chance but was the hard work of many member companies. To shepherd the specifications in the future we need the technical, organizational and financial support that you can provide. So please consider joining the OSGi Alliance to extend the component framework into its next update.
TutorialsThe OSGi Alliance delivers specifications, not implementations. The advantage is huge because you can then pick from many implementations. The disadvantage is that it is hard to show how to setup an OSGi framework because this is different for all of them. We therefore link you to different tutorials on the web that show how to develop bundles for OSGi using different open source frameworks. The following sections detail different tutorials centered around implementations. However, most tutorials are quite OSGi centric, the only real issue is how to get the framework started and what shell is used. However, it should be quite easy to take a tutorial from one framework and show it on another. With Apache FelixApache Felix is derived from the first open source implementation of OSGi: Oscar. The site has quite a lot of educational material and excellent documentation.
With Eclipse EquinoxEclipse Equinox is the framework that underlies the Eclipse IDE. It is a very popular framework because it is well integrated with the IDE, which can also be used to develop bundles.
With KnopflerfishKnopflerfish is the open source implementation of Makewave, who has been participating in the OSGi since day one.
