The OSGi framework is a standardized module system and service platform for the Java programming language. The OSGi standards are defined in the OSGi Alliance and published in OSGi specification documents such as the Core and Compendium specifications. These specifications contain chapters each of which describe a specific OSGi standard. This page contains a list of available implementations of OSGi standards, both commercial and open source implementations are included. Implementations realize specification chapter(s) from the OSGi specification documents.
The OSGi Specifications can be obtained from the following ___location: http://www.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage
Core Specification
- Latest Specification Version: 4.2
- Specification chapters: 2-12
Specifications implemented by OSGi core frameworks. A compliant OSGi Framework must at least implement chapters 3-6.
Compendium Specification
- Latest Specification Version: 4.2
- Specification chapters: 13, 101-117, 119-121, 701-704, 999
The Compendium Specification contains all the specification chapters not in the Core Specification which are part of the OSGi Service Platform.
Enterprise Specification
- Latest Specification Version: 4.2
- Specification chapters: 13, 101-102, 104-105, 107, 110, 112-113, 121-129, 701-702
The Enterprise Specification contains an enterprise-focused subset of the OSGi specifications. Certain Specification chapters are not yet in the Compendium Specification document because it was released before the Enterprise Specification.
Mobile Specification
- Latest Specification Version: 4.0.1
- Specification chapters: 101, 104-105, 109, 112-120, 701-702
Implementations
The following sections list implementations of OSGi specifications organized by chapter. The Version column indicates the OSGi specification version supported, not the project version. The Certification column indicates whether an implementation participates in the OSGi Certification Programme. The exact version of certified implementations can be obtained from the relevant implementation projects. Note that the order in which projects appear in the tables below is alphabetically.
