She gave me the freedom to work during the many late nights and weekends that it takes to produce a book and its associated code repository. She truly is the Lem of my life.nI'd also like to thank my parents, Ann and Derek, for their encouragement and support during my formative years. It was this work ethic that allowed me to start my technology career as a teenager and to incorporate my first company before I was 25. I'd also like to congratulate them on their 50th wedding anniversary in 2015, and I look forward to reaching that goal with Amy.nThanks are due especially to the reviewer of this version of the book: Antonio Bello, as well as the previous version of this book: Nate Cook, James Robert and Arvid Gerstmann, who provided excellent feedback on the contents of this book during development and caught many errors in both the text and code. Any remaining errors are my own.nI'd also like to thank my children Sam and Holly for inspiring me and hope that they too can achieve anything that they set their minds to.nFinally, I'd like to thank Ben Moseley and Eren Kotan, both of whom introduced me to NeXT in the first place and set my career going on a twenty year journey to this book.nn

Preface
1. Plugging in to JFace and the Common Navigator Framework FREE CHAPTER 2. Creating Custom Extension Points 3. Using OSGi Services to Dynamically Wire Applications 4. Using the Gogo Shell and Commands 5. Native Code and Fragment Bundles 6. Understanding ClassLoaders 7. Designing Modular Applications 8. Event-driven Applications with EventAdmin 9. Deploying and Updating with P2 10. User Assistance in Eclipse Index

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how OSGi's use of ClassLoaders permits bundle separation, and what effect that has on libraries that mistakenly assume there is only one ClassLoader per JVM. We also looked at how to upgrade such libraries so that they can run in an OSGi environment, and how to avoid such problems in the first place.

In the next chapter, we'll look at how to design applications in a modular way, building upon the material covered up to this point.
