I have been trying to start with studying OSGI for quiet a few days now. I've tried many tutorials to work on eclipse especially to start with apache felix or Equinox but the step by step tutorials never take me to the end of creating even one bundle.
I even tried the console commands with no luck. Is OSGI out dated? All the tutorials on the alliance web site are also extremely old and I couldn't follow them to the end. I also tried the BndTools Totorial here but on eclipse it couldn't resolve "@Component" when I reach 4.3 so I stopped there. When following Osgi Book Preview, I also couldn't find "Make Bundle" so I stopped again. I'm really frustrated. Isn't there a way for beginners to get into OSGI?
UPDATE:
For other people who are interested in getting started with OSGI, I found the book Osgi in Action as very helpful and a good guide for beginners.
The Bndtools tutorial was mentioned and dismissed in the original question; however we were able to resolve the issue. So I post this as an answer for others who might be looking for an introductory OSGi tutorial: check out the Bndtools Tutorial!
