InfoQ recently sat down with Peter Kriens of the OSGi Alliance to learn more about OSGi. Kriens discussed OSGi's origins in the mobile space, it's integration with Eclipse, the current integration work with Spring, and the future R5 specification. He also discussed the ongoing debate over OSGi and JSR 277, and gave his perspective on what an ideal solution would be for modularity at the JVM level.

Last month we asked whether Sun were listening about OSGi; at JavaOne, it was clear that many others have. Not only are all of the main J2EE engines now OSGi-enabled, but Spring launched their OSGi-based Spring Source Application Platform. Fortunately, a number of positive changes have occurred behind the scenes with JSR277; read on for what's been happening.

The OpenJDK project has released early an access snapshot of the Java Module System (JSR 277) and Improved Modularity Support (JSR 294). JSR 277 addresses modularity from a deployment unit perspective. JSR 294 addresses modularity from a development perspective, introducing a new language construct, called superpackages, for information hiding.

Glyn Normington has written an overview of Java modularity covering JSR 277, JSR 291 and JSR 294. He describes how each is different and adds value, and later responds to the question of why we need modularity support in the JVM, as opposed to custom classloaders (like OSGi).
