During the preparations for our EclipseCon talk "Web Applications with Eclipse RT and Docker in the Cloud" about our first Docker project, we spent quite some time building Docker images for Virgo powered applications. We investigated how to improve the continuous delivery of such applications using Gradle. In the first step we used the 'Gradle Docker plugin' to get started quickly.

Combining Different Java Versions

by Ian Bull
in EclipseSource News, Editors choice, Planet Eclipse, Planet OSGi
Comments

Java8 was released in mid-March and the Java 7 End Of Life plan has already been announced. In a perfect world we would all be pushing forward with Java 8, but in reality, other requirements often get in the way. Many developers I talk to say that their production environments (or more likely, their customer's production environments) are very conservative, and are not approved for...

Deploying RAP Applications Made Simple – Introducing the Virgo RAP Server

by Ralf Sternberg
in EclipseSource News, Editors choice, Planet Eclipse, Planet OSGi
Comments

Yes, we love building modular web applications, if they just were easier to deploy on a server! Wrapping OSGi applications in WAR files, apparently still the most popular deployment option for RAP, results in a complicated setup: a web app containing an OSGi runtime together with all bundles, configuration, and a bridge servlet that delegates requests to the embedded OSGi - that's hard to build,...

Step by Step: How to bring JAX-RS and OSGi together

by Holger Staudacher
in EclipseSource News, Planet Eclipse, Planet OSGi
Comments

Most of the server-side Java systems I built over the last years had the following requirements: They should be modular to be highly extendable and of course they should have a REST API to lower the integration barrier for other systems. If you have similar requirements you probably choose two standards/technologies. For the modular part it's definitely OSGi at the moment and for the REST API part...
