No theory, no fuzz, not just pragmatic, but very much so. (The series this book appears in is called "The Pragmatic Programmers".) That means, this book doesn't waste any words on why you would want to use a modular, component-based approach in your Java programming, but it tells you exactly how to do it, and which are the tools that alleviate your tasks the most.

Quick introduction to OSGi. Practical, although lacking in-depth technical discussion.
With its subtitle 'Creating Flexible Applications with OSGi and Spring', expect exactly that: a big runthrough of tools, sprinkled with some OSGi knowledge and Spring details. Even though it is now published as a book, it feels more like reading a blog post on the subject. All in all, I'm not exactly impressed, and wouldn't recommend it if you are planning to _really_ learn OSGi.
Craig does a great job spilling beans on the basics of OSGI development, but this book is in dire needs of an update.
It relies too much on the PAX Construct scripts, and it's pretty clear this part of the book needs to look at the modern tooling available now.

Was interesting. At the time I was coming from working exclusively with Equinox (eclipse OSGi runtime). The book was a good intro to SpringDM and some of the Maven extensions for OSGi builds.
Good book for the beginners.. Lots of improvements required for Enterprise OSGi
Looking forward to OSGi in Action though

Old, Dated. Most things don't work. Nice easy read though
