Build owner as osgi bundle

[robinmeiss]

Hello,

would it be possible to add the maven-bundle-plugin to build plugins to provide an osgified jar package of owner in maven repo? This would be very nice for us because we're using equinox osgi container and now have to manually convert actual package with BND tools.

Thank you very lot.

Regards,
Robin

POM would be:

...
 <name>OWNER :: Core</name>
    <artifactId>owner</artifactId>
    <description>Get rid of the boilerplate code in Java properties based configuration.</description>
    <packaging>bundle</packaging>   
...
<build>
        <plugins>
        <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>1.4.0</version>
              <extensions>true</extensions>
              <configuration>
                  <instructions>
                      <Bundle-SymbolicName>${pom.groupId}.${pom.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
                      <Bundle-Name>${pom.name}</Bundle-Name>
                      <Bundle-Version>${pom.version}</Bundle-Version>
              <Export-Package>org.aeonbits.owner.*</Export-Package>
                  </instructions>

It's definitely possible.

Can you have a look at the osgi-bundle branch and check that now packaging is osgi compliant?

Let me know.

Hi Luigi,

many thanks! I will test the bundle this weekend and give you feedback.

Best Regards,
Robin

The osgi-bundle branch has been merged to master, so please check the master branch then.

Thanks.

Hi Luigi,

works perfect! Big thanks for that. This will really help us to ease working with this small amazing helper library.

Do you have any time plan for a minor update to push actual master to a central repo?

Thanks a lot!

Fantastic! Thanks for your time.

Do you have any time plan for a minor update to push actual master to a central repo?

I want to finalize Java 8 support (default and static methods in interface) writing some JUnit tests, then I'll release 1.0.5.2 version in maven repo.

Hope this will be done in the next week.

Sorry for the long delay, owner-1.0.6 is available with this fix/enhancement on maven central repository.

[robinmeiss]

Hi Luigi,

absolutely no problem! This all is part of a hobby for most of us, so I really can understand you. I will change my own built snapshot to the official 1.0.6 bundle this weekend and am very happy with it.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @robinmeiss .

Due to how the felix bundle plugin works, I had to change the packaging. See bug #114

Can you please verify that last commit on master keeps a jar which is good for you?
I had to change the OSGi plugin to have the manifest compatible with OSGi without changing the way jars are built.

In case the problem is still there, please reopen this bug. Any help is welcome, since I have near none experience on OSGi.

Thanks and best regards.

Hi Luigi,

master is still working perfect! No issues with it.

Thanks a lot.

If need some further assistance or help regarding OSGi just contact me.

Best regards,
Robin
