Anzo Java Software Development Kit

The Anzo system, including the Anzo Java software development kit (SDK), is built using the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) as a packaging mechanism. OSGi is a Java packaging and runtime environment that enables Anzo to load and unload extensions easily. Certain components, such as Anzo Semantic Services, are packaged into an OSGi bundle and then loaded into the server. For an introductory description of OSGi, see What is OSGi? on the OSGi Alliance website. Note that a deep understanding of OSGi is not necessary for creating Anzo extensions with the Anzo SDK.

The topics in this section list the Anzo Java SDK requirements and provide instructions for deploying and testing the Anzo SDK.
