→So What is Eclipse Equinox?
== So What is Eclipse Equinox? ==
Equinox is an implementation of the OSGi R4 core framework specification, a set of bundles that implement various optional OSGi services and other infrastructure for running OSGi-based systems.
Ok, so Equinox is like an engine built into Eclipse that allows programmers to execute their OSGi-based systems without the use of an OSGi-enabled application server.
== So What is OSGi? ==
OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative) defines a modular (component) framework for Java.
Ok, so it's just a definition of how to do things better when running Java-based web applications. Better than what? Well, better than JavaEE (Java Enterprise Edition).
