OSGi For Modularizing Large Projects

OSGi helps establish good practices in software development by effectively applying at a macro level these good OO practices:
  • hide implementation details (design by interface contract)
  • minimize dependencies (high cohesion, low coupling)
Declarative programming and in particular declarative services promote:
  • extensibility (e.g. wrapping a web server)
  • writing POJOs and using in a larger context
Keeping the data model and visual representation separate promotes:
  • not writing too much from scratch
  • maintaining the reusability of core logic
  • allowing different app versions per audience
  • grow or shrink app
