Eclipse Training Series
We are offering a two-day OSGi training in several cities.
Equinox is the core of the Eclipse platform and a major contributor to the success of Eclipse on the client-side (RCP). Plug-ins and Extension Points based on the OSGi runtime are solid architectural building blocks.
However, Equinox is not limited to the client-side. It can be applied in a general way to build any kind of application, especially servers.
Imagine extending your server with additional functionality by installing some extra bundles, like a log analyzer for your HTTP service. Equinox-based servers use the OSGi runtime. Today, almost all application servers like IBM, BEA, JBoss, Sun, and Spring are based on OSGi.
