	OSGi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The OSGi specifications are now used in applications ranging from mobile phones to the open source Eclipse IDE.
		The OSGi specification is developed by the members in an open process and made available to the public free of charge and without licensing conditions.
		Also in 2003 Eclipse selected OSGi as the underlying runtime for the plug-in architecture used for the Eclipse Rich Client Platform and the IDE platform.

	Define OSGi - a Whatis.com definition
		OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) is an industry plan for a standard way to connect devices such as home appliances and security systems to the Internet.
		The OSGi plans to specify the application program interface (API) for programmers to use to allow communication and control between service providers and the devices within the home or small business network.
		OSGi is intended to connect new Jini "smart appliances," Bluetooth wireless device groups, as well as TV set-top boxes, cable modems, alarm systems, energy management systems, and other devices to Internet sites that can be used to manage them remotely and interactively.

	Oscar - An OSGi framework implementation
		OSGi is an independent corporation that is defining a specification to deliver services over wide-area networks to local area networks and devices.
		Oscar is intended to implement the framework portion of the OSGi specition and it is currently compliant with a large percentage of the version 3 specification release.
		Since OSGi is a standard, it is also possible to find documentation on writing bundles from other sources; for example, Sun provides a tutorial for both Windows and Solaris.

		OSGi technology also finds it way on the desktop, with Eclipse as an example how the OSGi specifications helped solved the problem of dynamically updating the plugins that Eclipse is built upon.
		OSGi delivers an open, common architecture for service providers, system developers, and equipment manufacturers to easily develop, deploy and manage these multiple services in a coordinated fashion.
		OSGi bundles (programs) can be built using SMF with WebSphere Studio Device Developer (also available for evaluation via a no-charge download.) SMF is also the OSGi Service Platform component of the IBM Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition.

	Manageability - Eclipse Embeds OSGi Based MicroKernel
		OSGI is very old spec, but unfortunately enough, it was not able to catch the momentum.
		OSGi is specifically designed as a class loading mechanism, you can think of it an an extended class loader for Java that supports packaging and deployment.
		OSGi easily supports dynamically deploying Java components packaged as JAR files, as well as allowing the component to embedded additional JAR files that will automatically be made available to it, and native libraries.

		The OSGi framework was originally designed to fit the needs of pervasive devices, which need to run a variety of different software and to be managed remotely.
		OSGi applications are packaged as "bundles", which are just standard JAR files.
		The OSGi bundle is completely self-contained with all the necessary metadata in its manifest file.

		The hardware needs to fit with whatever home devices you want to connect, the software has to be written to work with the devices, and the home devices have to be designed to work with the service gateway.
		But cheer up: OSGi service gateways are already available, and are predicted to become wide-spread in the near future.
		The three key aspects of the OSGi mission are multiple services, wide area networks, and local networks and devices.

		The OSGi Alliance is an open standardization organization formed by Sun Microsystems, International Business Machines, Ericsson and others in March 1999 (after it was first called the Connected Alliance).
		The OSGi specifications are now used from mobile phones to the new version of the open source Eclipse IDE (which now includes an open source compliant version of International Business Machines's Framework called SMF).
		In October 2003, Nokia, Motorola, ProSyst Software AG and other OSGi members formed a Mobile Expert Group (MEG) that will specify a service platform for the next generation of smart mobile phones, addressing some of the needs that MIDP cannot manage.

	OSGi in a nutshell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Open Services Gateway Initiative OSGi is an independent, non-profit corporation working to define and promote open specifications for the delivery of managed services to networked environments, such as homes and automobiles.
		The OSGi framework was originally conceived to be used inside restricted environments, such as the set-top box in figure 1.
		In standard OSGi, the bundle is responsible for run-time service dependency management activities which include publication, discovery and binding as well as adapting to changes resulting from dynamic availability (arrival or departure) of services that are bound to the bundle.

	Jeff Mesnil's Weblog: OSGi framework to improve Java platform
		Another useful feature of OSGi bundles is the idea of published API (see Martin Fowler's article "Public versus Published Interfaces" for a definition of published interface).
		I'm not aware of Open Source applications based on top of OSGi (other than Eclipse) but I think there is a lot of potential to develop an application on top of it.
		OSGi really rules, but all the code overload because of the search and tracking of services is a serious drawback.

	Paremus Announces Adoption of OSGi
		Paremus announced its adoption of the OSGi Service Platform as a core component for its distributed service-oriented platform, Infiniflow.
		The OSGi platform defines a standardized, component-oriented framework allowing software components to be remotely installed, started, stopped, updated or removed without system disruption.
		"OSGi's dynamic behavior is fundamental to true distributed service-oriented architectures, and will allow the Infiniflow ESF to set new standards for flexibility and resilience within enterprise environments."

	Fun with OSGi
		OSGi is already equipped with everything you need to run full-blown web applications.
		For a long time now, I've been trying to convince SonyEricsson to put an OSGi framework on their SmartPhones (like the P910), but so far I've seen no evidence of their going in that direction, which means that Nokia will beat them again, at least in the development tools department.
		That was all well and good, but, although OSGi allows the integration of native code JNI libraries as bundled resources, it doesn't make it any easier to keep the standard Linux native applications updated.

		If the OSGi work is sufficiently well formed that no further input is required by JCP members, then why not have a 2 page JSR that simply says "Go to the OGSi site if you need this capability".
		The OSGi specifications have taken 8 years of intense development and feedback, matching that kind of development effort is no panacea.
		The OSGi specifications run on every Java VM from 1.1 to 1.6; if JSR 277 makes language changes, it is very unlikely that such a change will be useful in J2ME for the next decade.

	Planet Marrs - Compiling JamVM from source and running OSGi on it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		During my recent experiments with JamVM on the the Linksys NSLU2 I discovered that it would be nice to be able to test OSGi frameworks and bundles using that same virtual machine on my development machine running linux.
		After a second or two, I was looking at the "osgi>" prompt where I installed some bundles to verify the basic framework was working:
		Apart from getting an exeption because the HTTP service could not bind to port 80 (which is normal since I was running as a normal user) this all worked nicely.
