Abstract The OSGi specification is becoming widely adopted to build complex applications. It offers adequate support to build modular applications, based on the composition of small, reusable and self-contained modules, called bundles. Bundles can be added and removed in runtime without stopping the entire application. Bundles can be loosely coupled by leveraging on OSGi service-oriented architecture support. Complex applications have been built on top of OSGi, resulting from the composition of a large number of bundles with many inter-dependencies. Although OSGi facilitates the manage- ment of a complex application (because of the modularity introduced), this is still a complex and time-consuming task. This dissertation presents A-OSGi, a framework that leverages on the native features of the OSGi platform to support the construction of autonomic OSGi-based applications. Autonomic applications present self-management capabilities, that ease the execution of the management tasks. A-OSGi offers a number of complementary mechanisms for this purpose, such as: the ability to extract indicators for the performance of deployed bundles, mechanisms that allow to have a fine grain control of how bundles bind to services and to gather this information in runtime, and a policy language that allows to define the autonomic behavior of the OSGi application. A prototype of A-OSGi has been implemented to illustrate the capabilities of our architec- ture. To this goal, we have implemented a number of mechanisms that integrate several existing technologies and tools. The prototype was evaluated with a proof-of-concept case study, where the application is adapted in face of a changing workload. Results show that the application exhibits a better performance when compared with the execution of the application without adaptation.

It is written mostly in Java and can be used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala, Clojure, and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP. The initial codebase originated from VisualAge.[2] In its default form it is meant for Java developers, consisting of the Java Development Tools (JDT). Users can extend its abilities by installing plug-ins written for the Eclipse software framework, such as development toolkits for other programming languages, and can write and contribute their own plug-in modules. Released under the terms of the Eclipse Public License, Eclipse is free and open source software. It was one of the first IDEs to run under GNU Classpath and it runs without issues under IcedTea. Eclipse (software) 2 Architecture Eclipse employs plug-ins in order to provide all of its functionality on top of (and including) the runtime system, in contrast to some other applications where functionality is typically hard coded.

  • Introduction Background Scope
    Copyright Oracle Corporation and VMware Inc, 2010 Enterprise Modules Project (Gemini) Proposal The Enterprise Modules Project is a proposed open source project under the Eclipse Runtime Project. This project is in the Project Proposal Phase (as defined in the Eclipse Development Process). Introduction The intent of the "Enterprise Modules" project, nicknamed Gemini, is to provide a home for subprojects that integrate existing Java enterprise technologies into module-based platforms, and/or that implement enterprise specifications on module-based platforms. Gemini will be a parent ("container project" as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) for several subprojects ("operating projects" as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) that provide the specific implementations/integrations. Gemini will itself be a subproject of the Eclipse Runtime Project and will strive to leverage functionality of existing projects. We encourage and request additional participation and input from any and all interested parties in the Eclipse community. Background Enterprise applications are often complex, involving multiple layers and many actors. Even though every application has a different purpose and usage, there are a number of features and behavioral requirements in the underlying infrastructure that are common among many of those seemingly dissimilar applications. For a long time, not only did developers need to create the vertical business logic of the application, but they also had to create the platform plumbing on which the application could run. Enterprise Java standards made great strides in defining specifications describing how these layers could be implemented, exported and used. They have since become the assumed and ubiquitous underpinnings of the majority of enterprise Java systems.
