OSGi: Blueprint vs. Spring DM

Question

I am a little bit confused about Blueprint and Spring DM:

From what I think is true:

• Spring DM is a framework defined by Spring Source
• B

Answer 1

In the introduction of the Gemini Blueprint documentation they explain clearly the difference : http://www.eclipse.org/gemini/blueprint/documentation/reference/1.0.2.RELEASE/html/index.html

I reproduce here :

Chapter 1. Spring Dynamic Modules becomes Eclipse Gemini Blueprint

In late 2009, as a member of the Gemini project proposal, SpringSource contributed Spring Dynamic Modules (also known as Spring OSGi) project to the Eclipse Foundation. Spring DM v2 code base has been moved to Eclipse.org along with its issue tracker and forum. The project became dual licensed under Apache License and EPL.

While the name has changed, the code and its functionality remained the same. Existing Spring DM applications can be easily migrated to Eclipse Gemini Blueprint as mentioned in the migration guide.
