Apache Felix

The Apache Felix project is a collection of semi-related OSGi sub-projects that build and release individually.

Felix Framework

The flagship project is the Apache Felix Framework which implements the OSGi Core R7 specification. The /framework directory contains the source and build tree for the OSGi-compliant framework implementation.

Directly related projects:
