I assume with Gemini you mean Gemini JPA.

Eclipse Link is a persistence provider. It does not contain OSGi functionality which means it does not integrate into an OSGi environment. By using Gemini JPA you can add OSGi functionality to Eclipse Link.

E.g. in an OSGi environment Gemini JPA uses Eclipse Link to create a persistence context and makes your persistence units available as OSGi services.
