Quick Facts Developer(s), Stable release ...

Equinox began as a project to replace the original Eclipse plug-in runtime in version 3.0 of Eclipse.[3] It was further developed to meet the needs of the Eclipse community. The adaptations were made into the OSGi specification process, with many being incorporated in the R4 release of the OSGi framework specification. Since then, Equinox has been the reference implementation for the OSGi framework specification.[4]
