OSGi In One Day
Introduction and Hands-on Workshop on OSGi, the de-facto modularity solution for Java

What

We invite you to a one-day event where you will learn about OSGi (www.osgi.org), the de-facto modularity solution for Java. You will find out the reasoning behind OSGi from two recognized experts in the field. You will get to see in action a set of tools and existing components of the ecosystem (bndtools, Amdatu, Apache ACE) that are proven to make your life a lot easier when developing and deploying OSGi applications. You will also have the chance to develop an application hands-on on your own laptop and, thus, experience firsthand a framework and toolchain that may help you in your next project.

Prerequisites for attending the hands-on workshop

To minimize the installation downtime for everyone at the event, please mind the following prerequisites for the second part of the event (starting at 14:00):

• bring your own laptop, with your favourite OS flavour
• install JDK 7 or 8
• install current version of Eclipse (e.g. Eclipse Luna for jdk 8)
• install the bndtools plugin from the market place (current release version 2.3.0)
