1 Gyrex 0.10 Release Review Gunnar Wagenknecht

2 About Gyrex is a platform for developing Eclipse server applications. Those applications typically run in a headless environment and offer capabilities through various channels (eg., a HTTP based API or a Web UI) and/or process data (eg., analyzing database content). They all are powered by the Equinox OSGi runtime. Gyrex offers frameworks built on top of key EclipseRT components which allow good integration as well as building multi-tenant applications. It also implements infrastructure which aid in system administration and operation of server application. Gyrex is EPL licensed.

3 Introduction Gyrex is a Technology sub project. This release is the first release at Eclipse.org, and the goal is to build an Eclipse community around Gyrex. Gyrex is still beta and we want to establish a feedback loop to improve the API. Gyrex 0.10 will ship as part of Indigo
