DZone: In general, tools for OSGi development seem sparse. Do you have any recommendations on tools or frameworks that aid bundle development, management, or runtime environment setup? Do you have a preferred OSGi development stack?

Craig: I'm a huge fan of the work done on the OPS4J Pax projects. They offer several great tools for working with OSGi, including Pax Construct, a script-driven approach to developing OSGi projects that is quite similar to working with frameworks like Rails and Grails. and a runtime setup tool called Pax Runner that's great for bootstrapping an OSGi framework with a selection of bundles. I can't imagine developing OSGi bundles without Pax Construct or starting an OSGi-based application without Pax Runner.
