The Feb 2009 meeting was quite a success. We had food, drink, and learned about OSGi. Speaker Vladimir Vivien provided an introductory summary about OSGi, definition, how it’s used, and it’s role in the Java stack. There were plenty of code samples ranging from the simple HelloWorld to a demo that showed how to use OSGi bundles to handle file types.
