Eclipse Announces First Release of Swordfish

Swordfish, the next generation ESB, has just been released today. Swordfish provides an extensible SOA framework based on the OSGi standard, specifically Equinox. By building on Apache ServiceMix and Apache CXF, Swordfish makes it easy for application developers to build their own ESB. This release will be available to download from the first week in April

“Last year we announced a strategy to provide open source runtime technology based on Equinox and OSGi,” remarked Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation. “The first release of Swordfish is a great example of the progress that is being made to develop our runtime technology portfolio. Over the next year I expect we will see more interesting runtime technology built at Eclipse.”
