Deployment of containers and container extensions in a modular code runtime platform through a runtime platform extension point

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to deploying components in a modular code runtime environment and provide a method, system and computer program product for deploying containers and container extensions in a modular code runtime environment, such as the Eclipse integrated development environment. In one embodiment, a container extension deployment system can include a container, a registry of container extensions slated for deployment in the container, and a deployment plug-in to a modular code runtime environment coupled to the registry. The deployment plug-in can include an extension point configured for use by other plug-ins. The extension point, in turn, can include container extensions slated for deployment in the container. Finally, the container extensions can include services that implement an interface for starting and stopping the services and libraries in an archive.
