I just published version 0.5.1 of Eclipse Integration for Karaf.

Consult the project's documentation on Eclipes Labs: EIK Documentation . This site also contains a read-only Subversion mirror of the EIK github repository.

Install from the update site:

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.

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.

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.

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.
