2. The OSGi Framework Illuminated
Introduction
! The dynamic nature of the OSGi framework can present developers
with the daunting task of navigating everything from a few to
hundreds of bundles, and even more package and service
relationships.
! All of the major OSGi frameworks contain at least a text based
console to view some of these relationships, but sometimes text is
not enough.
! This talk will demonstrate the graphical Knopflerfish OSGi desktop
using it to cast new light on the inner workings and design choices
of some common setups, as the Eclipse IDE, Apache Felix and
Knopflerfish OSGi
