The OSGi Framework
Heiko Böck · Apress eBooks · 2012
The OSGi Framework provides a modular runtime environment. An application built on the OSGi Framework is developed in a modular way—in the form of bundles —so the OSGi Framework is comparable to the module system of the NetBeans Platform. An OSGi bundle matches the principle of a NetBeans module. The OSGi Framework has been widely adopted because of its standardization by a consortium of companies. By now, it is accepted as an official dynamic component model for Java through the Java community process as JSR 291. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
