John Ross commented on ARIES-952:
---------------------------------
Subsystems requires Application Modeller in order to compute the service
capabilities and requirements of bundles. In turn, Application Modeller has a
dependency on Blueprint, since the service capabilities and requirements
ultimately come from blueprint.xml.
There are various possibilities depending on your ultimate goal. Do you not
need Blueprint at all (because you have no bundles with blueprint.xml), or do
you desire to use a Blueprint implementation other than Aries?
> Break dependency of Aries Subsystems on Aries Blueprint

> Key: ARIES-952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-952
> Project: Aries
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Application, Subsystem
> Reporter: Glyn Normington
>
> Aries Subsystems currently has a hard dependency on Aries Blueprint (AB).
> When running Aries Subsystems in an environment where there is already a
> Blueprint implementation, we end up with duplicate Blueprint extenders, which
> is of course a recipe for disaster.
> One such environment is the Virgo kernel. Virgo depends on Gemini Blueprint
> (GB) because it uses the Spring DM function provided by GB. So it's not
> possible to substitute AB for GB.
> So the requirement is to make it possible to run Aries Subsystems with GB.
> Admittedly this may involve adding some GB code to support resource modelling
> for Blueprint, but that should be separated from the AB implementation.
> To reproduce the problematic environment, see
> https://github.com/glyn/aries-subsystems-on-virgo-kernel and follow the
> instructions in README.md. The web admin console can then be used to observe
> both GB and AB extenders running in the Virgo user region. Also, the nature
> of the hard dependency can be observed by deleting the Aries Blueprint core
> bundle from the Virgo kernel's repository/usr directory and restarting Virgo
> - the modeller no longer resolves:
> missing constraint in bundle
> <org.apache.aries.application.modeller_1.0.1.SNAPSHOT>
> constraint: <Import-Package:
> org.apache.aries.blueprint.services; version="[1.0.0,2.0.0)">
