(This page is under construction!)


== Introduction ==
During the last 6 month, lots of things happened in OSGi and Maven world.  Major news are:

 * Maven 3 is now in beta version and major IDEs (Eclipse and !NetBeans) use snapshot version of Maven 3 as their default maven executable.
 * Spring DM's migration to Eclipse Foundation as Gemini Blueprint
 * Spring Framework version 3 is now available as production release

This is a overview of new tools/technologies I found in my research on this topic.


== Discussion Items for Cy3 Development Tools ==

 * Spring 2.5 or 3
 * Gemini Blueprint (almost identical to Spring DM 2.x) or Spring DM 1.x
 * Maven 2 or 3 (3 should be backward compatible)
 * OSGi bundle creation helpers - BND/Bundlor?


== New Tools ==

 * Eclipse 3.6 Helios
 * !SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) 2.3.3
   * Read [[http://dist.springsource.com/release/STS/doc/STS-installation_instructions-2.3.3.M1.pdf|this guide]]
