karaf - Apache Karaf OSGi runtime

Website: http://karaf.apache.org
License: Apache 2.0 License
Vendor: JPackage Project
Description:
Apache Karaf is a small OSGi based runtime which provides a
lightweight container onto which various components and
applications can be deployed.
Here is a short list of features supported by the Karaf:
* Hot deployment: Karaf supports hot deployment of OSGi
  bundles by monitoring jar files inside the [home]/deploy
  directory. Each time a jar is copied in this folder, it
  will be installed inside the runtime. You can then update
  or delete it and changes will be handled automatically.
  In addition, the Karaf also supports exploded bundles and
  custom deployers (blueprint and spring ones are included
  by default).
* Dynamic configuration: Services are usually configured
  through the ConfigurationAdmin OSGi service. Such
  configuration can be defined in Karaf using property
  files inside the [home]/etc directory. These configurations
  are monitored and changes on the properties files will be
  propagated to the services.
* Logging System: using a centralized logging back end
  supported by Log4J, Karaf supports a number of different
  APIs (JDK 1.4, JCL, SLF4J, Avalon, Tomcat, OSGi)
* Provisioning: Provisioning of libraries or applications
  can be done through a number of different ways, by which
  they will be downloaded locally, installed and started.
* Native OS integration: Karaf can be integrated into your
  own Operating System as a service so that the lifecycle
  will be bound to your Operating System.
* Extensible Shell console: Karaf features a nice text
  console where you can manage the services, install new
  applications or libraries and manage their state. This
  shell is easily extensible by deploying new commands
  dynamically along with new features or applications.
* Remote access: use any SSH client to connect to Karaf
  and issue commands in the console
* Security framework based on JAAS
* Managing instances: Karaf provides simple commands for
  managing multiple instances. You can easily create,
  delete, start and stop instances of Karaf through the
  console.
* Supports the latest OSGi 4.2 containers: Apache Felix
  Framework 3.0 and Eclipse Equinox 3.6
