FUSE

Completing the JMX service registration and sorting view contents

Posted July 19, 2009 - 10:35pm by Stephen Evanchik

I spent a little time using the Bundle and Services views today to see how well they worked. It turns out that I had a little problem with the Karaf data feeds not updating properly. The OSGi JMX MBean interfaces do not seem to support the NotificationEmitter interface so there is no way to asynchronously update the data.

This isn't terrible since I just wrapped the data update in an Eclipse system job that runs every 25 seconds. The down side is that the viewer refresh invalidates your selection because it wipes the source data completely. Some day when I am motivated I'll try and fix it.

Finished instrumenting the running Karaf platform

Posted July 19, 2009 - 1:30am by Stephen Evanchik

I just finished a really cool feature (three really!) for the Eclipse Integration for Karaf.

First, I have nearly finished the JMX integration (pesky connection management!) and have the ability to asynchronously pull out whatever information is available.

New EIK Feature: Karaf Target Platform Provisioner

Posted July 17, 2009 - 12:09am by Stephen Evanchik

A quick update to the Eclipse Integration for Karaf project.

I just added an Eclipse Target Platform Provisioning wizard. This makes it very easy to add external Karaf installations to your PDE target platform without the aggravation of having to add all of those directories manually.

Pictures are much better than words.

Eclipse Integration for Karaf now on FUSE Forge!

Posted July 12, 2009 - 12:03pm by Stephen Evanchik

After a couple weeks of solid progress I am finally able to share several updates on the project. First, I am migrating development to FUSE Forge where I will be maintaining the Eclipse Integration for Karaf project!

This is great because I am going to be developing alongside some great projects in the Karaf and ServiceMix community. FUSE Forge is run by Progress Software as part of their Open Integration strategy.

Karaf PDE Integration AND Web Tools Platform Integration

Posted June 28, 2009 - 9:42pm by Stephen Evanchik

Little by little I chip away at the workflow problems while developing OSGi applications. This evening I put the finishing touches on some refactoring and feature enhancements:

  • Refactored core, non-UI, code in to its own plugin
  • Finished the definition of my KarafTargetPlatformModel concept (more on this later).
  • Added a new OSGi Framework definition in Eclipse for Karaf on Equinox
  • Created an Eclipse Web Tools Platform Server Runtime for Karaf

All in all it was a very productive session. I will add the necessary code for the WTP Server Type soon.
