Tycho is a set of Maven plugins and extensions for building Eclipse plugins and OSGI bundles with Maven. Eclipse plugins and OSGI bundles have their own metadata for expressing dependencies, source folder locations, etc. that are normally found in a Maven POM. Tycho uses native metadata for Eclipse plugins and OSGi bundles and uses the POM to configure and drive the build. Tycho supports bundles, fragments, features, update site projects and RCP applications. Tycho also knows how to run JUnit test plugins using OSGi runtime and there is also support for sharing build results using Maven artifact repositories.

The Eclipse Virgo project provides a modular open source application server based on OSGi. The project is a donation to the Eclipse foundation of the dm Server open source project developed by SpringSource (VMware). Virgo provides a standalone kernel which may be used on its own or configured to create custom server types. Virgo Web Server integrates the Gemini Web container on top of the kernel to support standard WAR files and modular webapps comprising OSGi bundles.

In this webinar, we'll explore the key features of Virgo such as: repositories, deployment plans, regions, Equinox console extensions and administration console. We'll demonstrate the Eclipse-based tooling and the runtime facilities of Virgo. We'll also cover the current status of the project and how you can get involved.

Dali Java Persistence Tools simplify the development of Java SE, EE and OSGi bundle applications that use the Java Persistence API (JPA) to interact with relational data. Dali has added comprehensive JPA 2.0 support to the existing JPA 1.0 support in Helios, as well as specific support for the EclipseLink 2.1 Helios release. This demo will show some highlights of the new features available now in the Helios release.

With the Eclipse community expanding its offerings in the Runtime space (EclipseRT), many developers are interested in figuring out what this means and how they can leverage EclipseRT projects like Equinox, Jetty and EclipseLink. Join Jeff McAffer, the RT PMC and Equinox co-lead, for a review of EclipseRT projects and the new features they bring to Helios.

This presentation was recorded as part of the Helios In Action virtual conference.

Scala and OSGi both aim at very important concerns in software development: ease of use and reduced complexity. Scala operates at the programming language level, and OSGi at the higher level of a module system. Hence it is natural to combine those two to get the best out of both. This is also straightforward, because Scala compiles to "usual" Java bytecode and offers full interoperability with Java. OSGi is agnostic with regard to the programming language, because it works only with the compiled artifacts and the metadata in the bundle manifest. Hence it is time for OSGi on Scala.

The new Eclipse project ScalaModules aims at Scala based OSGi development. The mission of ScalaModules is to employ the power of the Scala programming language to ease OSGi development.

Of course using Scala for OSGi is itself beneficial, because of the great simplifications Scala brings compared to Java. But ScalaModules also makes use of the additional possibilities offered by Scala, mainly the chance to create a Domain Specific Language (DSL). Therefore with ScalaModules your code will be more intuitive and concise or less verbose and less involved compared to Java-based OSGi development.

Join project lead Heiko Seeberger for a look at this new project and what it has to offer.

The advantages of loose coupling and explicit dependency management are generally accepted and the technologies that provide these characteristics have become more valuable. While modularization of both infrastructure and applications has always been a desirable thing, Java EE applications have traditionally been bound to a full-blown application server. The Enterprise Modules project (nicknamed Gemini) is a new Eclipse project that undertakes to provide a collection of Java EE-based technologies as a suite of independent modules.

In this webinar, we will describe the relationship between Java EE and OSGi, and discuss what the Gemini project is doing in this area. We will detail its relationship to the standards and highlight the role it is playing in implementing a next generation of Java EE architectures. We will go over the various components of the project and show how they can be used by applications and tools alike.

Cloud computing is one of the hottest topics currently discussed in the IT sector. Although there are many different definitions of the term 'Cloud', providing remote services is at the center of Cloud computing. This webinar will demonstrate how "goodies" from different Eclipse projects can be combined to build applications on Cloud infrastructures.

Together, Equinox and OSGi provide a fundamental infrastructure for defining modules, managing lifecycles and facilitating collaboration between modules. Both are addressing the programming challenges in dynamic, modular and extensible systems.

The webinar will start with a short introduction to Cloud computing. Using the g-Eclipse framework, a distributed, virtual infrastructure will be set-up. Leveraging OSGi and ECF frameworks, a manageable distributed runtime will be started in order to deploy an application dynamically. The front end for the application will be provided with the support of the RAP application. The live demonstration will show how "goodies" from the Eclipse ecosystem can be combined to build a future SaaS platform.
