Equinox is the name of an Eclipse project that provides a certified implementation of the OSGi R4 core framework specification. [1] Equinox is basically a plug-in system that allows developers to implement an application in a set of "bundles" using common services and infrastructure. In version 3.0, Eclipse chose OSGi to replace the Eclipse plug-in technology found in earlier versions. Briefly, OSGi technology provides a service-oriented plug-in-based platform for application development.
