OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Atllia Kiss (Everit Kft.) This talk outlines the ease of use of OSGi in application code and shows how to master development tasks by using the right APIs and tools. Learn about the latest in component development, asynchronous processing, configuration management and deploying your application code in larger modules, so-called subsystems. A subsystem allows to package a set of bundles and configurations. The subsystem can run isolated from other bundles or other applications. Learn how to leverage the latest OSGi tech for your own projects. All of the functionality discussed is available as open source.

1. Eclipse + Maven + OSGi
has never been so easy

2. Stages of evolution of
managing an OSGi container

3. OSGi Console

4. Felix file install

5. Richconsole (E-OSGi Deployer)
with eosgi-maven-plugin (v3.x)

6. Development
to
Production

7. Test Driven Development

8. Environment configuration support
Local development
Continuous Integration
Test / QA / Demo / etc.
Live / Production / etc.

9. Why Maven?

10. We build and install
bundles (Maven artifacts)
into OSGi containers
not packages.

11. <groupId>org.everit.osgi.dev</groupId>
<artifactId>eosgi-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.x</version>

12. eosgi:dist
XML templates
command line templates
OSGi environment
with bundles and
configuration
pom.xml
Dist package

13. eosgi:integration-test

16. eosgi-e4-plugin
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/everit-osgi-eclipse-plugin

17. Features
● Built on eosgi-maven-plugin
– everything is configured in the pom.xml
– supporting artifacts with multiple versions
● Create distribution packages for different
environment
● Environment start/stop
● Incremental upgrade of the dependencies using
OSGi JMX Management Model Spec.
● Debug environment (not a remote debug)
● Configuration synchronization

18. DEMO

19. Main messages
● keep it simple for developers
● let them concentrate on business intelligence
● steep learning curve

20. Roadmap
● Hotkeys
● Remote dist
● Creating environment upgrade scripts with
binaries
● Live configuration upgrade
● Supporting bug reports and feature requests
● etc.
