Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMO-4912:
----------------------------------------
There was some recent discussion within osgi of defining a standard URL handler
to allow a directory of files to be loaded as a bundle. There was a lot of
discussion, but I'm not sure it really went anywhere. I'm not aware that
there's any standard ability to do this.
> Should plugins be packed jar files or exploded?

> Key: GERONIMO-4912
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4912
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: osgi
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: David Jencks
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> Currently the osgi framework only works with plugins packed as jar files, not
> exploded jar files like the regular geronimo server. Since osgi can deal
> with classpaths inside a jar file, I rather think that we should proceed
> with this as standard practice for the rest of the server. However this will
> mean moving the archiving functionality out of the car-maven-plugin and into
> the deployer.
> The alternative is to make sure that unpacked plugins actually work in osgi.
> I didn't experiment with this at all.
