During his presentation at OSGi DevCon Europe 2009, Toni Menzel announced the first release out of beta of Pax Runner and Pax Exam.
The slides are now online.
Congratulations to all contributors.
DZone: In general, tools for OSGi development seem sparse. Do you have any recommendations on tools or frameworks that aid bundle development, management, or runtime environment setup? Do you have a preferred OSGi development stack?
Craig: I'm a huge fan of the work done on the OPS4J Pax projects. They offer several great tools for working with OSGi, including Pax Construct, a script-driven approach to developing OSGi projects that is quite similar to working with frameworks like Rails and Grails. and a runtime setup tool called Pax Runner that's great for bootstrapping an OSGi framework with a selection of bundles. I can't imagine developing OSGi bundles without Pax Construct or starting an OSGi-based application without Pax Runner.
Its just one week to go to DevCon Europe 2009 taking place on june, 22nd, 2009 in Zurich.
This is of cause a major event for friend's of OSGi and should be enough by itself.
You can still register here.
