There is a new article at The Server Side about Eclipse, Equinox and OSGi which briefly describe what is OSGi and its implementation at the Eclipse Equinox Project. The authors are Jeff McAffer, who actually leads the Eclipse Equinox OSGi, RCP and Orbit teams, and Simon Kaegi, from Cognos.

I met Jeff at the EclipseCon 2005, and with Jean-Michel Lemieux (a committer on the Eclipse Team/CVS), they gave me some valuable advices about the use of Eclipse RCP at financial applications, especially on branch teller applications. They both published a book titled Eclipse Rich Client Platform.
