Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSHARED-100:
--------------------------------------------------
Having thought about the idea of having a common 'shared-all' artifact as a
bundle, I think it's a pretty bad idea.
We're going to run into several bad issues. Especially if we shade other
bundles that have an activator.
I can find any solution to fix a case where we shaded two bundles, each one
having an activator.
What do we do for activation in the resulting bundle ? We can't have more than
one bundle assigned to a bundle...
Although it works great in the case of a simple plain jar, I really think it
goes against OSGI principles to have a shaded bundle of all shared artifacts.

> It may be interesting to use the Felix Bundle Maven plugin to make the
> 'shared-all' a real OSGI-ready bundle (It's a simple jar ATM).
> It would be also interesting to bundle with the distribution the log4j
> dependency, just like we do for ApacheDS. I had to download this aside and
> add it to the build path to be able to work with the LDAP API. I understand
> that we're using a logging "façade" (SLF4J) to allow the user to choose the
> implementation he prefers, but I think most users of the API won't know and
> don't care about it. If we bundle log4j in the final distribution, the LDAP
> API can be used in one simple step and people willing to use their logger
> implementation of choice can easily remove the bundle log4j and add their own
> jar.
