SpringSource dm Server is an open source, OSGi-based, Java application server developed by SpringSource[1], now a division of VMware. SpringSource dm Server supports the deployment of OSGi bundles and unmodified Java web applications as well as OSGi-influenced Shared Libraries WARs[2] and Shared Services WARs.[3]

SpringSource dm Server is based on the Equinox OSGi implementation, part of the Eclipse project; the Apache Tomcat servlet container; The Spring Framework; and Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi Service Platforms. The dm Server is licensed using the GNU General Public License version 3; a commercial license is available.[4].
