I have a fairly simple use case. At the moment (and I may be using Brooklyn
wrongly) when I'm incrementally developing blueprints and their related
resources in my IDE, I tell Brooklyn to install a BOM file which looks a
bit like this:
brooklyn.catalog:
brooklyn.libraries:
- name: foo.bar.MyApp
version: 0.1.0.SNAPSHOT
url: mvn:foo.bar/myapp/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT
items:
- "classpath://x.bom"
- "classpath://y.bom"
- "classpath://z.bom"
This installs the bundle and adds multiple BOMs, which in turn install
multiple catalog items.
But if I want to clean up my development work, I have to uninstall all the
catalog items manually, as well as my bundle.
Now the ZIP support is making this easier, but I would like it to be easier
still - I want to install the ZIP, and have all the catalog items magically
appear. I also want to be able to uninstall the ZIP, and have all the
catalog items disappear, everything cleaned up! And I also want this to be
true for Java entities inside OSGI bundles, not just ZIPs.
It's about have a single artifact which is treated as a unit, and
JustWorks(tm) - install it and everything is ready in one go, uninstall it
and everything is cleaned up in one go.
