What Does OSGi Solve?
- by Pablo Fernandez
I've read on wikipedia and other sites about OSGi, but I don't really see the big picture. It says that it's a component based platform, and that you can reload modules at runtime. Also the "practical example" given everywhere is the Eclipse Plugin Framework.
My questions are:
1) What is the CLEAR and SIMPLE definition of OSGi?
2) What COMMON PROBLEMS does it solve?
By "common problems" I mean problems we face everyday, like "what can OSGi do for making our jobs more efficient/fun/simple"
Thanks.
