Some of the Nimble resolver's key differentiators are:

• Speed - it's very fast, usually instantaneous
• Full lifecycle support - it doesn't just resolve and install dependencies, it can also remove them again when they're no longer needed
• Ease of use. You'll be getting useful work done with it in 5 minutes
• More built in dependency types - e.g. understands the need for common runtimes such as SpringDM, Declarative Services and iPOJO
• Extensibility. Creating your own dependency types and deployable types is straightforward
• Diagnostics. Useful summaries of unresolved dependencies and full resolution trace are available
• Policy base resolution: You can set policies which influence the resolution process
