Equinox: the name conflicts with an Eclipse project I just received the following e-mail from an anonymous user via my contact page.

You might have already heard, but the Eclipse guys have started a new 
project also called Equinox, which is their implementation of the OSGi 
framework (which is my first choice for building modular enterprise apps 
these days).

http://www.eclipse.org/equinox

Not sure who had the name first, but I can see this getting more 
confusing as both products continue to gain mindshare and blog coverage.

First of all, I am aware of this thanks to Euxx. I don't know which project started first, but Google still seems to prefer mine over Eclipse's. Eclipse's Equinox project is #46 when searching for equinox, while mine is up to #9. ;-)

If I could think of a better name, I'd change. However, being #9 on Google makes it pretty tempting to keep the "Equinox" name. Posted in Java at Nov 29 2005, 12:07:51 PM MST 5 Comments
