Osmorc, a plugin that enables development of OSGi based applications with IntelliJ IDEA and that is developed by Jan Thomä and me, won a “Honorable Mention” prize in the “IntelliJIDEAL Plugin 2008 contest”.
Although working on Osmorc itself and the positive and helpful feedback from its users is already a great motivation, the recognition and also the money that is part of the prize adds to it.
