Eclipse Modeling Framework and plain OSGi the easy way

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Gecko EMF lets EMF run on any OSGi framework (no Equinox extension registry) by exposing ResourceSetFactory and resource sets as prototype OSGi services, using whiteboard services for EPackage and ResourceFactory registration, and a configurable isolated registry that filters models per tenant. Code generation injects BND-friendly components via a genmodel JET extension so bundles auto-register packages and factories at runtime. It already serializes via EMF XMI/EMF JSON, plugs into JAX‑RS and MongoDB, handles dynamic model add/remove, and is available on GitLab.
