OSGi

The version control system was changed from SVN to Mercurial, mostly because of the elegant way of handling branches and merges with Mercurial. The application is now packaged as a multi-module Maven project. This will make it easier to check out, build and deploy the application.

Development on the Vaadin/OSGi application is going smooth. I am making good progress. So here are some screenshots.

This is the main menu. Every application module contributes an entry to the main menu. This is also the entry point for the user.


The first application module has also progressed quite nicely. It is a promotion management module. Currently promotions are only listed and can be searched by its tags.


A promotion can be selected from the list to get a view on the details.


More to come ...

Hi,

this is my first blog entry in my first weblog. So it is a little bit like the first time on the stage. As my development focus switched from RPG to Java and especially to OSGi and modular application design this will also be the focus of the next couple of posts.

Many people have already posted about OSGi (which by itself is nothing new) and its components and services. So why is this blog different from the others? Most people are so deep into OSGi development that they only publish snippets and what they deem interesting or important. I will try to cover the whole story, from the beginning to the end. My goal is to write an OSGi application which will evolve over the time with new features and components.
