FREE: Eclipse DemoCamp: Chris Frost on dm Server
dm Server
Chris Frost gives a short demo introducing the dm-Server and tooling around it; showing how to develop applications for OSGi using the SpringSource Tools Suite and the dm-Server. He starts from a blank install of both products - free versions - and finishes up with some bundles up-and-running on the server.

Review:
In this talk, Chris introduces the dm-Server, a modular OSGi-based Java server. The OSGi base makes it easier to version as well as load/unload modules. Equinox is the implementation of OSGi used within dm-Server allowing the use of throw-away class loading. You can get dm-Server tooling off the SpringSource website and through the SpringSource Tool Suite (STS).

Chris then gives a hands-on demonstration of using dm-Server within STS (which is based on Eclipse). When starting dm-Server, you get very minimal information: what profile is loaded and what modules have been included. Chris' demo includes the deployment of an application and how the interface enables a basic drag-and-drop approach.

A few of the key benefits of dm-Server are also outlined, one being that the dm tooling will automatically start redeploying any bundles that you edit. The tooling also helps with the dependency management by linking into the OSGi repositories and listing all of the bundles available.
