Pax Construct
Pax Construct provides a
Swiss Army
®
knife for OSGi that helps you rapidly create, build, manage and deploy many types of OSGi bundles. The core functionality is provided by a flexible Maven2 plugin that enhances and streamlines the Maven build process for OSGi, along with intelligent archetypes that adapt according to your needs.
Unix and Windows scripts are available to further reduce the need to remember (and type) long command strings. These scripts come with basic help text and can bootstrap themselves from an empty system.
You can use Pax Construct to create a simple first bundle in less than a minute, all the way up to managing a Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi TM system.
