SpringSource creates repository of OSGi-ready Java libraries


By Jeff Feinman
October 17, 2008 — 
SpringSource has created a repository with more than 400 enterprise open-source Java libraries in an OSGi-ready format.

The Enterprise Bundle Repository, released yesterday <10/16>, is focused on easing application development based on Java and OSGi, a Java module system. The free repository can deploy artifacts in an OSGi environment like SpringSource’s dm Server, which can provide a more simplified approach to building modular enterprise applications, according to company executives. Some of the bundles offered in the repository include Apache Ant and Batik, EclipseLink, Glassfish ClassLoader, and the J2EE Application Management Specification.

SpringSource executives said that before the dm Server and Enterprise Bundle Repository, programmers had a difficult time analyzing non-OSGi artifacts, tracing dependencies in other libraries, and writing metadata. SpringSource’s repository doesn’t make programmers search for third-party code and provides OSGi metadata to offer “the full potential of modularization,” SpringSource said.

The Enterprise Bundle Repository has a strict governance model to protect published artifacts. The governance model ensures that all metadata is consistent throughout the repository and that all required artifact dependencies are satisfied.

“Every jar file in the repository is a valid OSGi bundle containing full version information,” said Adrian Colyer, SpringSource’s CTO. “Any jar you download from the repository can be deployed as-is into an OSGi Service Platform and the SpringSource dm Server. It can also be used as a regular jar file outside of OSGi.”

SpringSource’s dm Server is hosted on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud and Simple Storage Service.
