ProSyst Software (www.prosyst.com) announced today that the mToolkit Basic Edition is now available free of charge.
mToolkit extends the Eclipse IDE with the necessary tools for easier adoption of the OSGi technology. It provides the developers with remote management capabilities of OSGi containers (currently Equinox and ProSyst's mBedded Server are supported). From within the Eclipse IDE the developer can execute bundle operations like installing bundles on a remote OSGi container. Additionally, mToolkit enables access to the OSGi service registry in order to validate the bundle's service dependencies and registrations.
