Nope, never started. > > I'm quite sure that Archiva could be a great EBR, which can be very helpful > for Apache projects such as ServiceMix, Karaf, and the other ones powered by > Karaf (like Geronimo). I agree - this was very specifically a target of the architecture changes we started some time back which now lives on trunk. I'm very happy to work with anyone that wants to add non-M2 repository types. There's still some cruft to clean up, but I think it's close enough to start this. There's been plenty of interest externally as well, e.g.: http://s.apache.org/archiva-ace I'd personally also welcome any interest in OSGi-enabling Archiva itself. I toyed with Karaf some time ago and liked it a lot. - Brett > > Regards > JB > > On 05/02/2011 03:26 PM, Wendy Smoak wrote: >> On Mon, May 2, 2011 at 9:15 AM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré<[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> I wonder what do you think about enhancing Archiva to act as an EBR >>> (Enterprise Bundle Repository). >> >> Sounds like fun. :) I know it (or something similar, I'm not familiar >> with the details of OSGi) has come up for discussion before and there >> was interest, [1] but I don't think the work was ever finished. >> >> [1] >> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/archiva-dev/200812.mbox/%[email protected]%3E >> -- Brett Porter [email protected] http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter
