Workshop: OSGi Hands on Component ProgrammingThe OSGi Service Platform is gaining widespread adoption recently.The Eclipse IDE is an application on top of the OSGi Service Platform and provides many functions to get started. However, the breadth of the specification can make it hard to get started. This tutorial will give you the needed hands on experience to get started on OSGi projects. We will start with a simple "Hello World"application that highlights the modularity and life cycle features.This application is then further developed into a simple chat application that leverages the OSGi capabilities to the utmost.After this tutorial you will be able to write better, more flexible, more standalone, and more dynamic bundles that can be deployed in any OSGi service platform: ProSyst, IBM, Apache, Eclipse, or one of the many other implementations. For the best result, we advise you to bring a laptop with Eclipse 3.2+ installed on it.
