Flying to Jupiter with OSGi
summary
European ground systems common core (EGS‑CC) picks OSGi over EJB/SCA and implements a modular runtime for JUICE (launch 2022), with a five‑year program across 8 countries, 17 companies, 23 teams and 43 components. The stack fixes Java 8, Eclipse Luna, Maven, ServiceMix 5.4 (Felix/Blueprint), ZooKeeper for coordination and ActiveMQ for remote procedure calls that support passing object references across containers. Deployments use static session maps, a master/leader node and generated bundles; it runs but integration pain comes from consortium scale and limited OSGi experience.
