Hi Folks, A while back we addressed 'GORA-72 Make Gora OSGi ready'[0]. Later on when Scott Stults completed the gora-solr module (yeehaaa) we discovered the inevitable classloading/jar hell problem identified by Alfonso in 'GORA-257 Use separate class loaders for each module' Today when I was messing around with gora-solr module I 'accidentally' ran the test suite against trunk and came across the classloading issues associated with conflicting zookeeper versions in gora-hbase and gora-solr TRUNK code. It should be noted that *most-likely* this particular zookeeper problem will vanish once we've merged GORA_94 branch back into trunk as the HBase upgrade has been made... however this is a far from an idyllic resolution by any means. I therefore wanted to get some insight into what we can do about the classloading issue ebtween modules. I am by no means familiar with OSGi environments... therefore although my understanding of this problem is clear... my suggestions for a solution are virtually non-existent at the moment. Any ideas folks? Ta Lewis
