Presentation from the ApacheCon EU 2008 in Amsterdam. The SCR plugin for Maven from the Apache Felix project is a simple but powerful tool. In just 15min you'll learn how to develop services in Java to be used in an OSGi environment and how to package and deploy them. You should have knowledge about component oriented development for Java; the talk will also cover the bare minimum OSGi knowledge, but this is not an OSGi introduction.
