Everit OSGi Eclipse Plugin

EOSGi Eclipse plugin displays OSGi environments specified with eosgi-maven-plugin in the Project Explorer view of Eclipse and lets the user managing the environment by using a context menu. The user can:

• Start the OSGi environments specified in the pom file of the project
• Debug the OSGi environments
• Live upgrade of the OSGi environments
• View the console of the OSGi environment within Eclipse
• Stop the environments gracefully (even if the environment is stopped from console or debug view)
• Call the sync-back goal of the maven plugin on an environment

If an OSGi environment is managed with the Eclipse plugin, dependencies are resolved from the workspace with the following algorithm: If a dependency is imported as a maven project into the workspace, the plugin executes mvn package on that dependency and installs the result JAR file to the OSGi container.

When an OSGi environment is started in debug mode by the plugin, the sources are resolved by the dependency manager of maven. If a dependency is available on the workspace as a project, the source is picked up from there.

If eosgi-testrunner is used to execute tests on the running OSGi environment, the EOSGi Eclipse Plugin picks up the test results and shows in the JUnit view of Eclipse.
