The Apache Felix project is a collection of semi-related OSGi sub-projects that build and release individually.
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.
Directly related projects:
- main
/main*- provides an executable jar that launches the Felix framework.
Several sub-projects cover various OSGi Compendium specifications such as:
- Configuration Admin
/configadmin - Configurator
/configurator - Converter
/converter - Coordinator
/coordinator - Deployment Admin
/deploymentadmin - Device Access
/deviceaccess - Declarative Services
/scr* - Event Admin
/eventadmin - Http Service
/http - Http Whiteboard
/http - IO
/io - Log Service
/log* - Metatype
/metatype - Preferences
/prefs - Resolver
/resolver - UPnP
/upnp - User Admin
/useradmin - Wire Admin
/wireadmin
Several projects provide extra features to an OSGi runtime.
- bundle repository
