Spring Dynamic Modules 2.0.0.M1 / OSGi 4.2 Blueprint Service RI Released

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi(tm) Service Platforms (formerly known as Spring OSGi) 2.0.0 M1 final has been released.

Downloads | JavaDocs | Reference Documentation | FAQ | Changelog

The first release in the 2.x branch, M1 provides the first, complete OSGi 4.2 Blueprint Service Reference Implementation (RI).

Other noticeable improvements:
* migration to JDK 5 and Spring 3.x
* updated documentation on Blueprint Service
* enhanced tooling support
* new service exporter/importer options
* improved proxy performance and generation
* importer support for collection of service references
* faster shutdown algorithm

and numerous enhancements and bug fixes. Please consult the changelog for detailed information.

For using OSGi 4.2 Blueprint Service, JDK 5 or Spring 3 in an OSGi environment, we recommend Spring Dynamic Modules 2.0.0.M1!
Note that compatibility with OSGi 4.0 and 4.1 platforms has been preserved (please consult the reference documentation for more details).

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Cheers,
Costin Leau

Great job Costin !

Could you post your plan about upcoming Spring DM 2.x releases ?

I'd like to know if you plan to make easier integration testing between bundles ?

http://static.springsource.org/osgi/...l/testing.html

I.e. I know Felix has been working on a bundle auto discovery feature that removes the hassle to write/maintain config files describing dependencies at integration testing time.

Thanks

Fred

Thanks Fred. Once we have something concrete, we'll share it with the world (it's the reason I joined Twitter after all). If you have any suggestions or ideas, please post them here or into JIRA.

Cheers,
