1.2.0 to be released with IntelliJ 9.0.2

The first version of Osmorcs 1.2 version series is to be part of IntelliJ 9.0.2 Ultimate Edition, which is scheduled to be released soon. Users of the community edition will be able to download it through the plugin repository (though buying IDEA Ultimate is of course strongly encouraged ;).

This release contains the integration with PAX Runner, that took a really long time to implement. This integration vastly improves Osmorcs reliability when it comes to starting OSGi containers. Also a much wider range of versions of all four major OSGi containers is now supported. The version of PAX Runner that is part of Osmorc has been slightly modified, so it can also launch Eclipse RCP based applications in Equinox. Even though PAX Runner launches it’s own VM with the OSGi container, you don’t need to resort to remote debugging but you can actually just press the “Debug” button in IntelliJ to debug your bundles.

1.2.0 is a major improvement of Osmorc and I am very excited and happy about it. I hope you like it as well. Feel free to leave comments here on the blog and send in feature requests and bug reports at our issue tracker!
