Eclipse Libra
An alternative set of tools based on Eclipse
PDE
and the Eclipse Web Tools Platform is
the Eclipse Libra project. Unlike the Rational tools, Libra's scope is strictly what's in
the enterprise
OSG
i specification; extensions (like Aries applications or Virgo plans)
won't be supported.
Instead of starting with
OSG
i bundle projects and adding web or
JPA
facets, Libra
reuses the existing
JPA
and web projects and adds an
OSG
i bundle facet (see figure 9.20).
Figure 9.20
Libra allows you to add OSGi facets to servlet and JPA projects.
