OSGi defines metadata describing dependencies between software components and how together they form a consistent and loosely-coupled system. OSGi forms the basis of the Eclipse development environment which we use as our customer design-time environment. This talk explores how to use the OSGi descriptive metadata in non-OSGi runtimes. This includes some best practices for componentization, approaches to building software aggregates, validation of the build products, and troubleshooting any problems that arise.

David Kemper is a Principal Architect at TIBCO Software Inc., a leading supplier of enterprise software that helps companies achieve service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) success. He is currently working on several projects that integrate OSGi technologies into the TIBCO product stack.
