Hi all, Not sure I can post this question here, so if not, maybe someone knows where I should ask it.
My question: * in short: How do I get started with Aries JPA in combination with Apache Felix? * in detail: I am trying to get started with Aries JPA in Felix but until now all my attempts failed. There doesn't seem to be some easy way such as - install these bundles in a clean Apache Felix - start all bundles and explore this URL - examine this source of the example. Of course there are some samples like "http://aries.apache.org/modules/samples/blog-sample.html"; But they all require quite some setup. In the case above (blog-sample), one should start building the Aries development stream and then run the example in "Eclipse Equinox" (not Felix !?!). I tried building but - as I am not so good at Maven - I cant get the code of the Aries development stream to compile. I get some Maven issues (in Eclipse Indigo, m2e 1.0.200) such as - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.2:run (execution: create-prop, phase: initialize) - Missing artifact biz.aQute:bndlib:jar:0.0.313 - maven-enforcer-plugin (goal "enforce") is ignored by m2e. Next I tried just to download the ready-built bundles from - http://aries.apache.org/downloads/currentrelease.html But I could not find a nice checklist and thus it was guessing which bundles to install. I ended up with this set: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ START LEVEL 1 ID|State |Level|Name 0|Active | 0|System Bundle (4.0.2) 1|Active | 1|Apache Derby JDBC (10.5.1.1) 2|Active | 1|Apache Felix Bundle Repository (1.6.6) 3|Active | 1|Apache Felix Configuration Admin Service (1.2.8) 4|Active | 1|Apache Felix EventAdmin (1.2.14) 5|Active | 1|Apache Felix File Install (3.2.0) 6|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Command (0.12.0) 7|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Runtime (0.10.0) 8|Active | 1|Apache Felix Gogo Shell (0.10.0) 9|Active | 1|Apache Felix Http Jetty (2.2.0) 10|Active | 1|Apache Felix Log Service (1.0.1) 11|Active | 1|Apache Felix Web Management Console (3.1.8) 12|Active | 1|Apache Aries blog sample web component (0.3.0) 13|Active | 1|Commons Collections (3.2.1) 14|Active | 1|Apache Aries Blueprint Bundle (0.4.0) 15|Active | 1|Apache Jakarta log4j Plug-in (1.2.15.v201012070815) 16|Installed | 1|OpenJPA Aggregate Jar (2.2.0) 17|Active | 1|Apache Aries Util (0.4.0) 18|Active | 1|Apache Geronimo JSR-317 JPA 2.0 Spec API (1.1.0) 19|Active | 1|Aries JPA Container blueprint integration for Aries blueprint (0.3.0) 20|Active | 1|asm (3.1.0) 21|Active | 1|Aries JPA Container Managed Contexts (0.3.0) 22|Active | 1|Aries JPA Container API (0.3.0) 23|Active | 1|Apache Aries blog sample (0.3.0) 24|Active | 1|slf4j-api (1.6.4) 25|Installed | 1|Apache Aries blog sample persistence (0.3.0) 26|Active | 1|Commons Lang (2.4.0) 27|Resolved | 1|slf4j-log4j12 (1.6.4) 28|Active | 1|Apache Aries blog sample API (0.3.0) 29|Active | 1|Commons DBCP (1.4.0) 30|Active | 1|Apache Derby 10.8 (10.8.2000002.1181258) 31|Active | 1|Aries JPA Container (0.3.0) 32|Active | 1|Apache Aries Proxy Bundle (0.4.0) 33|Active | 1|Commons Pool (1.5.4) 34|Active | 1|geronimo-jta_1.1_spec (1.1.1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a combination of 1) Clean Apache Felix 4.0.2 2) Aries bundles (blueprint, jpa, proxy) 3) OpenJPA 2.2.0 4) asm-3.1-osgi.jar (I had to download somewhere) 5) slf4j and log4j (I had to download somewhere) When starting up I get ERROR: Bundle org.apache.openjpa [16] Error starting file:/C:/Data/tools/felix-framework-4.0.2-Aries/plugins/openjpa-2.2.0.jar (org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Uses constraint violation.
