Plug-ins

featherlite core plug-ins are used to build featherlite applications.

These plug-ins are OSGI bundles and will be recognized by an Eclipse installation as a plug-in.

These packages are distributed as zips. To use them, extract them to the directory where Eclipse looks for the featherlite plug-ins. Some packages contain directories and .jar files, this is intended as some packages have additional libraries which need to be accessible at runtime. Further information can be taken from the section on installing featherlite plug-ins in the Getting Started guide which can be downloaded on the documentation page.

Web Components

The featherlite web components are used to build featherlite web applications. These are similar to the plug-ins, yet they do not contain the OSGI information.

To use them, download the relevant zips and extract them to a place on your computer. Copy the .jar files to the ../META-INF/lib directory of your web project. If the zip contains a lib directory, then the .jar files must also be copied to the web application. Further information can be taken from "Installing the featherlite libraries" section of the Getting StartedWeb guide which can be downloaded on the documentation page.

featherlite web framework

Main featherlite component.

This component provides all the core classes used to build the featherlite Web application to be deployed either on a Web Application Container (JBoss, Apache Tomcat, and others) or in a pure Java virtual machine, if running in standalone mode.

The featherlite component is the core component, that is extended by all featherlite Web applications.

Click to download. Save the archive file to your favorite file system location. Extract and copy the jars to the lib folder of your web application.
