OSGi(1) and the JSR 291(2) represents represent an emerging technology, which is widely adopted in various industries. Although, this new environment is more restrictive than plain Java, it is extremely rewarding in terms of lifecycle management, software reuse, modularization and dynamism. Out of the box UIMA is not capable of running in pure OSGi environment and benefit from its features. To leverage the usage of UIMA even in such an environment, IBM has published an adaptor project on AlphaWorks(3), which enables the use of UIMA in any OSGi environment (like Apache Felix, Knopflerfish or Eclipse Equinox) or OSGi based products.
