Holger Hoffstätte commented on AVRO-987:
----------------------------------------
Some comments for Scott:
* repeating the package dependencies so that they are correct is somewhat
unavoidable with plain Java projects ( regardless of build system) since many
libraries simply dump they crap all over the package space. However, the
correct imports & exports can often be calculated automatically by the plugin's
heuristics, so later on it is likely possible to trim the list of explicit
imports/export statements to the bare minimum where necessary. Overly explicit
fencing at the beginning is a good idea. Note that this gets easier the more of
your dependencies are already bundles; if you only depend on bundles you often
have to do *nothing* at all. Most of commons/netty/jackson will automagically
work correctly.
* adding the necessary plugin configuration bits as properties in each
subproject is already as minimal for the pom as it can possibly get; this is
actually a pretty good approach. Normally the whole <plugin> section is
duplicated.
* +1 for breaking the build if forName is used; it shouldn't be used anywhere
anyway.

> It would be really nice to be able to use Avro inside OSGi. To achieve this
> two things are required:
> i) Provide proper MANIFEST.MF.
> ii) Deal with potential class loading issues. Avro uses Class.forName a lot
> and that is not very OSGi friendly.
