Hi,
I'm not using it but just for curiosity I checked on Maven Central if
some artifacts have been pushed there recently that declare a dependency
to this artifact (maven-osgi):
"0.2.0" "org.glassfish.hk2:consolidatedbundle-maven-plugin:pom:2.6.0"
"2019-07-31T22:22:29Z"
"0.2.0" "org.glassfish.hk2:osgiversion-maven-plugin:pom:2.6.0"
"2019-07-31T22:21:55Z"
"0.2.0" "org.apache.sling:slingstart-maven-plugin:pom:1.8.4"
"2019-06-13T11:29:18Z"
"0.2.0" "org.apache.sling:slingfeature-maven-plugin:pom:1.0.4"
"2019-06-13T09:52:03Z"
...
Hope it helps for voting.
Cheers
Dirk

Betreff: [VOTE] Retire Maven OSGi
Hi,
The Apache Maven project consist of about 90 (sub)projects. Due to the small
number of volunteers and the huge amount of code to maintain we're missing
enough space to make real progress on all these projects, including our
ambitious ideas for the next major version(s) of Maven itself.
To be able to gain more focus we need to criticize the current subprojects and
decide if it is worth maintaining.
https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-osgi/ describes the main purpose in one
line: Library for Maven-OSGi integration.
There have been only 2 releases: 0.1.0 in July 2007 and 0.2.0 in December 2007
and just one open issue by Stuart McCulloch regarding an unclosed jar.
It is unclear to me if this library is still used. The library is based on
just 3 files: interface, default implementation and dedicated exception.
Either the library is complete or never used anymore. In both cases I see no
real reason to maintain it.
I therefore propose that we retire the maven-osgi library.
I don't think it makes sense to do a final release. Instead we should update
the documentation and freeze the codebase.
The process for retiring a plugin is described here:

The vote is open for 72 hours.
[ ] +1 Yes, it's about time
[ ] -1 No, because...
