| Welcome to Apache Karaf EIK |
| =========================== |
| Apache Karaf EIK (Eclipse Integration for Karaf) is the integration of the Apache Karaf |
| application platform and the Eclipse IDE. |
| |
| Notable features include: |
| * Custom Eclipse perspective for Apache Karaf development |
| - Places valuable Karaf runtime information in one location |
| * Apache Karaf installation management in your workspace |
| - Karaf installations are managed as workspace projects giving the |
| developer visibility in to the runtime. |
| - Each Karaf installation is automatically synchronized with your |
| workspace, include: additional bundles, configuration files |
| * Run and Debug Karaf installations with a single Eclipse Launcher |
| - The launch configuration allows developers to fine tune how Karaf |
| will launch |
| * Automatic deployment of workspace plugin projects |
| - Create plugin-projects and have them deployed automatically. |
| * Advanced instrumentation of the running Karaf instance |
| - Watch bundles deploy in real time and examine the OSGi service |
| registry from within the Eclipse IDE |
| * Access Eclipse platform IDE plugins from within a running Karaf instance |
| - All Eclipse plugins are presented as an OBR. |
