felix - Felix OSGI
- Description:
Felix is a community effort to implement the OSGi R4 Service
Platform, which includes the OSGi framework and standard
services, as well as providing and supporting other interesting
OSGi-related technologies. The ultimate goal is to provide a
completely compliant implementation of the OSGi framework and
standard services and to support a community around this
technology. Felix currently implements a large portion of the
OSGi release 4 specification, but additional work is necessary
for full compliance. Despite this fact, the OSGi framework
functionality provided by Felix is very stable.
OSGi technology originally targeted embedded devices and home
services gateways, but it is ideally suited for any project
that is interested in principles of modularity, component-oriented,
and/or service-orientation. OSGi technology combines aspects of
these aforementioned principles to define a dynamic service
deployment framework that is amenable to remote management. As
an example of a simple use case, Felix can be easily embedded
into other projects and used as a plugin or dynamic extension
mechanism; it serves this purpose much better than other systems
that are used for similar purposes, such as Java Management
Extensions (JMX).
