First, here is an introduction to what OSGi-enterprise means.
Second, here are a set of OSGI-enterprise implementations :
- Apache Aries : sponsored by IBM and SAP
- Eclipse gemini : sponsored by Oracle and SpringSource
- Eclipse virgo : donated by SpringSource (formerly known as spring-DM) – reference implementation of OSGI enterprise)
On a totally unrelated note, please take a look at the “Relationship to existing projects” on Eclipse virgo’s page. This will give you an idea of how decoupled the Open Source world is : each project has its own Project Leader, its commiters, contributors, and even though the projects depend on each other, there is only limited communication between them. Each project can be developed according to its own schedule, and this is the way open source can scale. The limit is the sky !
Once again, there are maybe some things we can learn from Open Source.
C’est beau ce modèle hein
Des projets découplés par version, une charte de projet toute simple mais pas simpliste, des droits de commit : un modèle si simple mais qu’on refuse d’appliquer en entreprise, c’est à se demander pourquoi…
