As a Eclipse Working Group and Project, we can be much more proactive providing implementations and create tooling ourself. Funding for such project through the Working Group is currently not possible due to limited funds (Donations are welcome).

We are currently looking into new funding opportunities for concrete Projects. This Document is intended to collect possible endeavors and funding sources.

Please note, that this is not intended to be a document to discuss the separate entries. It shall only be a collection of ideas, we can build upon.

Possible funding sources

Please feel free to add to this list as well.

Projects

  • Refurbish OSGi Build, to become more accessible.
    • Migrate to Maven
    • One git Repo per Spec Chapter (maybe not for Core)
    • Update Testing Dependencies (junit 3->5)
    • improve Test Quality and reduce time with better Test-Setup using OSGi-Test
    • Markdown instead of DocBook
  • OSGi-TCK execution in CI Flow of compatible implementation Repositories
  • OSGi-Test
    • improve documentation and Examples
    • add Service/Framework/Config-EventRecorders and Assertions and Waits
  • OpenRewrite Tooling Support
    • Use of Annotation
    • Eclipse Plugin to Nativ OSGI-Support
    • Version Updates
    • Documentations on OSGi Annotated Classes/Methods/Fields
    • Activato to DS-Component
  • BND Integration for VSCode and IntelliJ
  • integrate new Java LanguageFeatures in compatibe Implementations
  • SAT Solver for OSGu-Resolver

    • Improve feature support
    • --- Rationale ---
    • OSGi supports tracking software content management and origination
    • 70% of Security Problems arise from lack of memory safety (Probably higher in embedded systems) OSGi can ensure memory safety
    • OSGi supports remote management software management and secure OTA
    • OSGi provide a service oriented architecture for more flexible Software defined embedded applications
