OSGi Alliance

The OSGi Alliance is an independent non-profit corporation comprised of technology innovators and developers and focused on the interoperability of applications and services based on its component integration platform.

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.

OSGi technology adopters benefit from improved time-to-market and reduced development costs because OSGi technology provides for the integration of pre-built and pre-tested component subsystems. The technology also reduces maintenance costs and advances unique new aftermarket opportunities because networks can be utilized to dynamically update or deliver services and applications in the field.
