Pax is the umbrella project for all OSGi bundles and tools.
OSGi is a runtime platform that allows for a much higher degree of dynamicity than any other container architecture and is well suited for both client and server applications. Eclipse is the most visible OSGi eco-system on the market, housing many UI driven OSGi projects including a runtime framework. Knopflerfish.org as well as Apache Felix are other runtime platforms, with their respective standard services.
PAX intend to be complimentary to all these efforts and main focus are on good practices and technology integration. Feel free to start or suggest additional sub-projects.
The Pax projects are ONLY intended for OSGi R4 and later. No project needs to explicitly support OSGi R1, R2 and R3. |
