This talk gives an introduction to the cross cutting concepts of Pax Construct, Pax Runner, and Pax Exam. We start with nothing, take Pax Construct, create your OSGi projects (standard, wrapped), provision into any osgi framework via Pax Runner, and finally add the unit tests based on Pax Exam. "OSGi is not ready for the enterprise" "OSGi has no ready to use tooling" .. are misconceptions thrown around the internet. Pax Tools is a unique, framework independent set of tools that make OSGi development enterprise ready and enjoyable. Attendees can expect to gain knowledge that they can instantly run all major framework implementations while using one configuration-theme for all of them: Pax Tools work greatly in an enterprise environment (tight Maven integration) Pax Exam makes writing tests for OSGi platforms enjoyable.
