The Aries project consists of a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model.
See Apache Aries Website.
- Application - the implementation is using
org.osgi.service.frameworkfrom Eclipse Equinox that is available only in versions 3.5..3.7 
- Samples - Missing
The sources are now directly availble in aries github.
Some of the subprojects have their own git repos:
| Subproject |
|---|
| Aries CDI |
| Aries Component DSL |
| Aries Containers |
| Aries JAX-RS whiteboard |
| Aries JPA |
| Aries RSA |
| Aries Transaction Control |
Most projects can be built using
mvn clean install
As the Aries svn hosts a lot of different subprojects it makes sense to only build the specific subproject.
