To those people who are used to monolithic webapps, OSGI bundles can be a daunting prospect, we'll help users wanting to move into an OSGI model by explaining how to get started.

OSGI allows for dynamically pluggable bundles in the Java run time. In this talk we'll look at Apache Karaf, and how to build a few basic OSGI modules that we can deploy into Karaf and demonstrate useful techniques for building OSGI bundles.

We'll discuss the differences between building standard (web) applications and OSGI applications and how to avoid common pitfalls. Learn some tips and tricks from someone who learnt the hard way about development best practice, building, deploying and maintaining your bundles and building features.
