Hi Oliver and Jean-Baptiste,

you guys are fast as lightning :-)

This is just terrific news. To my understanding the OBR format and the p2 format are very very close to each other. So if there is already something planned for OBR, it would just come down to transforming the OBR information into a p2 compatible form and additionally parsing eclipse feature jars. When do you expect that something will be available in that area so that I can try to adapt what I already have to the OBR implementation? Is there anything that I can do to help? I don't have a lot of spare time for this but I'd really love to see this functionality in archiva so I'm willing to help to the best of my abilities.

So far I have a consumer that hooks into archiva, a reverse engineered XSD and EMF model for the p2 XML and a hand written parser for OSGi Manifests and feature jars that I was planning to replace with an existing implementation later. Not much, but it's a working POC and I'd figured I'd drop a note here before investing more time in this (good thing I did).

Are these the JIRAs for it?
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1427
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINDEXER-36

Sounds about perfect to me once it is OBR + p2 :-)

Hello Johannes ,
All contribs are welcome !

Note support of indexing osgi metadatas is now implemented in maven-indexer.
So basically some osgi are coming here:-)

FYI, we are working on the support of OBR in Archiva.
A POC has started in Karaf Cave, and tomorrow, I will start to work on integrating Cave OBR into Archiva.
