| <p>The OSGi framework specification forms the basis of the Eclipse runtime. As |
| of Eclipse 3.0, the runtime is fully based on the OSGi notions of <em>bundle</em> (equivalent |
| to Eclipse plug-ins). The OSGi framework implementation in Eclipse 3.0 is fully |
| compliant with the OSGi framework specification R3.0. </p> |
| <p>The Eclipse 3.1 stream includes additions and extensions to the OSGi R3 specification. |
| The Eclipse team is working closely with the OSGi Alliance Core Platform Experts |
| Group (CPEG) to feed changes back into the specification process and ensure |
| that Eclipse remains compliant to current and future specifications.</p> |
| <p>For more information |
| on OSGi, see the web site at <a href="http://osgi.org">osgi.org</a>.</p> |

| <p>The OSGi framework implementation in Eclipse can be used to run Eclipse or |
| on its own. To run it on its own, simply download Eclipse (any drops |
| will do) and extract the <strong>org.eclipse.osgi</strong> bundle. As of M6 |
| this bundle is shipped as a self-contained Jar that includes a launcher and |
| the console. To run, use the following command line</p> |
| <pre> java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.0.jar</pre> |
| <p>You will then see an osgi> prompt. Type '?' at the prompt for command help.</p> |

| quickly to put the above story in place.</font></p> |
