Various appendixes outside the reference documentation.

Appendix A, Compendium Services describes the support provided for the OSGi Compendium Services, including the Configuration Admin service. While the support is included in the 1.0 distribution, it is not guaranteed (yet) to be maintained in a backward-compatible form in future point releases.

Appendix B, Extensions describes extensions that are included in the 1.0 distribution, but are not guaranteed to be maintained in a backward-compatible form in future point releases. We anticipate these features moving into the core specification over time.

Appendix C, Eclipse Plug-in Development integration describes how to integrate Spring-DM with Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment.

Appendix D, Spring Dynamic Modules Maven Archetype describes the Spring-DM Maven 2 archetype usage.

Appendix E, Useful OSGi tips provides some useful OSGi tips, especially meaningful when used along with Spring-DM.

Appendix F, Roadmap describes some features that are included in the 1.0 distribution but are still considered early-access. The externals of these features may change in future releases. This appendix also discusses other planned features for which no implementation yet exists.

Appendix G, Spring-DM OSGi Repository describes the repository used by Spring-DM for its osgi artifacts.

Appendix H, Spring Dynamic Modules Schema defines the schemas provided by Spring Dynamic Modules.
