It's just the PDE (Plugin-Development Environment?). It does nice things like enforce your manifests appropriately import packages. Auto-calculate exports based on real usage in your other plugins, refactorings that include your Manifest/plugin.xml etc. It's mostly geared towards writing Eclipse plugins themselves, but it works great for regular OSGi projects too.
I also use maven Tycho (as of a few weeks ago) for my OSGi builds. Tycho has a special OSGi compiler that enforces appropriate OSGi manifests like eclipse. It will also read the eclipse project files to determine project settings. Makes it pretty nice to do development (assuming you don't deviate from convention too far). I haven't dug into the "magic" yet, so I'm not sure how much it can bend. I'm actually working on a scalac plugin for OSGi that will do similar things for scala compilation (check manifests, imports, etc.) -Josh On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 2:29 PM, [email protected] < [email protected]> wrote: > > tell me more about the OSGI integration...
