OSGi Technology, Eclipse and Convergence - Jeff McAffer, IBM

M
mfrancis

The document discusses the convergence of Eclipse and OSGi technologies across different platforms. It addresses challenges like scaling applications with thousands of components across devices, enabling dynamic functionality and data migration, and providing native look and feels. The Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and embedded RCP (eRCP) help solve these issues by utilizing OSGi, declarative services, and lazy activation of bundles. This allows applications built with these technologies to run across devices from mobile to desktop in a scalable and dynamic manner.
