Webcast: Remote Provisioning With p2, Jeff McAffer
In this video Jeff McAffer, EclipseSource CTO, demonstrates how to define, provision and manage remote Eclipse, Equinox and OSGi-based systems using p2 technology. The presentation highlights the extensibility and flexibility of the technology, by showing a combination of standard p2 function and EclipseSource extensions for remote scenarios. Upcoming videos build on this base and show the use of p2 in server and cloud-based environments.
Blog: Categorize your p2 repository, Ian Bull
Have you had the experience of creating an interesting application, exporting it, generating a p2 repository, connecting to your repository, and *BAM*, nothing there! The reason this happens is because you likely didn’t categorize your repository.
Blog: OSGi Declarative Services, Chris Aniszczyk
For those of you who don’t know, the Eclipse SDK now ships an implementation of OSGi Declarative Services (DS). I love DS when working with OSGi services and recommend it to people over using the brittle ServiceTracker mechanism.
