Apache Felix - (incubator.apache.org/projects/felix.html) The Felix Project has entered Incubation at the Apache Software Foundation and will be the foundation's implementation of the OSGi specifications. Felix is a community effort to implement the OSGi Service Platform Release 4, which includes the OSGi framework and standard services, as well as providing and supporting other interesting OSGi-related technologies. The ultimate goal is to provide a fully compliant implementation of the OSGi framework and standard services and to support a community around this technology. Felix currently implements a large portion of the OSGi specifications, but additional work is necessary for full compliance. Despite this fact, the OSGi framework functionality provided by Felix is very stable.

Eclipse Equinox - (www.eclipse.org/equinox/) From a code point of view, Equinox is an implementation of the OSGi framework specification, a set of bundles that implement various optional OSGi services and other infrastructure for running OSGi technology based systems. More generally, the goal of the Equinox project is to be a first-class OSGi technology community and foster the vision of Eclipse as a landscape of bundles. As part of this, it is responsible for developing and delivering the OSGi framework implementation used for all of Eclipse. In addition, the project is open to:

Implementation of all aspects of the OSGi specifications (including the Mobile, Home and Vehicle work)
Investigation and research related to future versions of the OSGi specifications and related runtime issues
Development of non-standard infrastructure deemed to be essential to the running and management of OSGi technology based systems
Implementation of key framework services and extensions needed for running Eclipse (e.g., the Eclipse Adaptor, Extension registry) and deemed generally useful to people using OSGi technology.

As a peer of the Platform, JDT and PDE projects, the Equinox OSGi code is managed by the Eclipse PMC and ships with the Eclipse project major releases. The various other bundles developed here may ship independently and on different schedules.

Knopflerfish - (www.knopflerfish.org) Makewave is the founder and maintainer of Knopflerfish, an open source OSGi distribution. The goal of the Knopflerfish project is to develop and distribute easy-to-use open source code, build tools and applications related to OSGi technology. Gatespace Telematics, an OSGi Alliance member, has several developers assigned to further develop and maintain the Knopflerfish OSGi distribution. The Knopflerfish Pro version gives companies the full assurance of a fully supported open source product when embedding Knopflerfish in commercial products and systems. Knopflerfish Pro 2.0 is certified by the OSGi Alliance as OSGi R4 compliant.

Newton Project - (www.codecauldron.org) The Newton project is a distributed runtime framework for the dynamic instantiation and subsequent management of complex OSGi / SCA Systems within enterprise environments. Based on a SCA System description, Newton dynamically deploys and maintains availability of relevant OSGi service bundles, and dynamically wires these together across a distributed set of heterogeneous compute resource. The Newton Project has been donated to Open Source by Paremus (www.paremus.com).

ProSyst Open Source mBedded Server Equinox Edition - (www.prosyst.com) ProSyst's Open Source mBedded Server Equinox Edition is based on the Eclipse Equinox OSGi framework but contains some additional features and bundles on top of it. It makes mBedded Server Equinox Edition the ideal choice for research projects and open source oriented projects. There is no license fee and no other cost for using this product (EPL license).

Key features include:

The Open Source implementation of Eclipse Equinox 3.2.2
Compliance with OSGi R4 Core Specification
Extension by several services specified in the OSGi R4 Compendium Specification which are missing in the standard Equinox implementation
Extensibility to full compatibility with OSGi R4 Specification (core and service compendium) and all ProSyst APIs by installing the optional mBS Extensions Products
A number of useful open source ProSyst components such as thread pool, timer, object pool, XML parsers, protocol for administration (PMP), and a visual administration application (mConsole)
Provisioning of support for the Eclipse plug-in model so that eRCP and RCP applications can be run
Ready to run the > ProSyst OSGi Extensions
Inclusion of demo bundles, sources and programming guides helping beginners to program in OSGi technology
