An early draft of the OSGi 4.2 spec is out. Learn about:
- Security Enhancements
- BundleTracker (kind of like ServiceTracker but for bundles!)
- Bundle-License header (finally, but something more to tool…)
- Service Registry Hooks
- A common CLI for OSGi! (finally!)
- Declarative Services Updates
- Transactions in OSGi
- Distributed OSGi (smells unnecessarily complicated but cool)
- Common Component Model (Spring-DM)
It looks like there’s a lot of cool things going into 4.2… especially things like Distributed OSGi which can have a lot of downstream ramifications on people who use OSGi and want to use it in a distributed fashion.
