| <h2>$pageTitle</h2> |
| |
| <p>Eclipse is in use on the desktop in tools and <a href="http://eclipse.org/rcp">RCP</a> applications. The <a href="http://eclipse.org/ercp">eRCP</a> and |
| other projects are pushing it into mobile phones and handheld devices. Now |
| there is significant interest in Equinox on the server. This project |
| is targetted at eliminating barriers to using and integrating OSGi (and Equinox |
| more specifically) on |
| the server.</p> |
| <p>The work detailed here evolved out of the server-side work in the <a href="http://eclipse.org/equinox/incubator">Equinox |
| Incubator</a>. See the <a href="proposal.php">incubator |
| proposal</a> for |
| some historical perspective. From time to time there will continue to be |
| some additional work that is incubated before being moved to one |
| of the main Equinox components. Note also that this work makes heavy use |
| of third-party libraries such as Jetty and Jasper as well as various API |
| packages. These bundles are all maintained as part of the <a href="http://eclipse.org/orbit">Orbit</a> project.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Working with server-side Equinox</h3> |
| <p><strong><a href="http_quickstart.php">Quick Start</a></strong> - |
| See the quick start guide for getting up and running with Equinox on the server.</p> |
| <p><strong><a href="http_in_container.php">Embedding Equinox in a Servlet Container</a></strong> - |
| Using the servletbridge to allow us to run OSGi based web applications in a servlet container.</p> |
| <p><strong><a href="http_in_equinox.php">Embedding an HTTP server in Equinox</a></strong> - |
| Looking at what options there are for embedding an HttpService implementation in Equinox.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Server-side Bundles</h3> |
| <p>The Server-side work component consists of several bundles maintained in Eclipse |
| CVS repository projects. See the <a href="../bundles/resources.php">resources</a> page |
| for information on repository location and access. Note that some of the |
| bundles listed here are actually part of other projects (e.g., Orbit). In general |
| the name of the project matches the symbolic name of the resultant bundle.</p> |

| <p>The team typically develops using Eclipse itself so getting and managing the |
| projects is quite straightforward. Simply start Eclipse, and use <strong>Import > CVS > Projects |
| from CVS</strong>. Enter the repo access information and choose the projects |
| you want to load into the workspace. </p> |
| <p>If you are working without Eclipse (gads! :-) then use your favorite CVS client |
| and check out the relevant projects.</p> |
