Apache Felix

The Apache Felix project is a collection of semi-related OSGi sub-projects that build and release individually.

Felix Framework

The flagship project is the Apache Felix Framework which implements the OSGi Core R7 specification. The /framework directory contains the source and build tree for the OSGi-compliant framework implementation.

• fileinstall /fileinstall* - A utility to automatically install bundles from a directory.
• gogo /gogo - A command line shell, runtime and set of base commands for interacting with and introspecting an OSGi framework.

• ipojo /ipojo - A service component runtime aiming to simplify OSGi application development.
• jaas support /jaas - Bundle to simplify JAAS usage within OSGi environment.
