| == Books |
| |
| The most important "books" on OSGi are of course the specifications themselves. |
| They are quite a good read but are also complete and contain stuff, you might be interested in. |
| So for a starter you might interested to read the following: |
| |
| * Core Specification (Layer, Services, LiveCycle part) |
| * Compendium Specification |
| * Enterprise Specification |
| |
| Visit the https://docs.osgi.org/specification/[OSGi Alliance Specifications] page to download the specifications for free. |
| |
| Apart from the specifications a number of books have recently been published. |
| They are listed here in no particular order: |
| |
| * http://www.manning.com/hall/[OSGi in Action]; |
| Richard Hall, Karl Pauls, Stuart McCulloch, David Savage; |
| Manning Publications, 2011. |
| Covers most (if not all) of R 4.2 specs and also contains a lot of side information. |
| The authors of this book are committers and/or PMC members of the Apache Felix project. |
| * http://www.amazon.com/OSGi-Equinox-Creating-Modular-Systems/dp/0321585712[OSGi and Equinox: creating highly modular Java systems]; |
| Jeff McAffer, Paul VanderLei, Simon Archer; |
| Addison-Wesley, 2010. |
| Despite its dependency on Equinox it might be helpful, because they use Declarative Services intensely for their sample application throughout the book and we use Declarative Services intensely, too. |
| * http://www.manning.com/alves/[OSGi in Depth]; |
| Alexandre de Castro Alves; |
| Manning, 2011. |
| I cannot say anything on this book except that he seems to have used Apache Felix for the samples---- |

| Holly Cummins, Timothy Ward; |
| Manning, 2013 Covers Enterprise OSGi specifications, which are becoming more and more important. |
