Abstract:

The OSGi Alliance is getting ready to publish Release 4, v4.2. This new release is heavily driven by Enterprise requirements. Not only were new functions added to the core (after numerous small improvements), there are also several brand new specifications like Remote Services and Blueprint, the DI framework. This presentation will introduce you into the new features and will lift a tip of the veil of the upcoming special Enterprise release in the fall.
