Virgo
The Virgo project, a sub-project of EclipseRT, is currently being checked in.
If you want a thumb-nail sketch of Virgo, flip through this EclipseCon presentation.
These wiki pages are aimed at committers, contributors, and users who want a deeper understanding of Virgo. Virgo Home has more basic information for users.
Take Virgo Kernel for a spin
If you want to take the kernel for a spin, first build it (see Build for more options).
>git clone git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/virgo/org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.git >cd org.eclipse.virgo.kernel >git submodule update --init >cd build-kernel >ant clean clean-integration jar package
Then start it.
>cd target/package-expanded/virgo-kernel-<version> >bin/startup.sh
The kernel should start up issuing event log messages like this:

You can then log in to the Virgo shell from another shell (default password for admin is currently "springsource").
>ssh -p 2401 -o NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost=yes admin@localhost
