It’s time to move on and show the simple elegance Spring brings to OSGi development using the HelloWorldSpec sample from the OSGi & Modularity post. But first, a little primer on Spring Dynamic Modules. Spring DM is not an OSGi implementation. Instead, Spring DM aims to make working with OSGi easier just as Spring makes the world of Enterprise Java simpler. One of the more striking characteristics of Spring DM is that it removes most your code’s dependencies on OSGi by taking care of the OSGi plumbing. To function in an OSGi runtime environment, the Spring .jars have been packaged as OSGi bundles.
