Thanks for the instructions -- I think this should be on a wiki page
so it can be updated/referred to more easily?
I'd guess http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDEV/index.html would be the best
wiki piece.
I think that maven 2.2.1 is required and also java 6.
thanks

I saw some changes happened in geronimo framework code tree, those
are the attempts to transform geronimo framework modules to OSGi
bundles.
I am eager to know how it works, so I made some effort to pull the
code and try to make a build by self. Although the build process is
not so smoothly, I finally make it work. That's excited, isn't it?
Here are the steps for those who want to work on or study the
Geronimo OSGi transformation :-)
1. install and config build softwares
1.1 maven 2.0.10
1.2 subversion
1.3 sun jdk 1.5 or 1.6
2. checkout and build servicemix4 bundles.
ServiceMix4 bundles are required by the new geronimo framework. The
build process is problematic and tricky, be patient :-)
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/smx4/all/
smx4all
$ cd smx4all
$ mvn install -e
if you encounter error like "missing bundles-pom", do as follows:
$ cd bundles/bundles-pom
$ mvn install -e
After successfully built bundles-pom, you can start to build bundles
$ cd ..
$ mvn install -e
If you hit problem that says missing certain specific version of
bundles-pom, you need to manually update that bundle's pom.xml. In
my case, the groovy-1.5.6 has old bundles-pom dependency, so change
it to the new one "5-SNAPSHOT", then from the root of bundles, build
again.
$ mvn install -e
You need to make sure all bundles are successfully built and
installed into your local maven repository.
Besides, you need to build these bundles additionally:
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxb-impl/2.1.6_2-SNAPSHOT
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.woodstox/3.2.8_1-SNAPSHOT
org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jline/0.9.94_2-SNAPSHOT
3. Check out and build felix bundles.
Not all of felix bundles need to be built. For my experience, these
bundles are required:
org.osgi.core
org.osgi.foundation
org.osgi.compendium
4. check out and build geronimo framework
check out geronimo code from trunk
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk/
gtrunk
build from framework
$ cd gtrunk/framework
$ mvn install -e
You will hit bundle missing problems. Go to bundles sub directory
and manually build each bundle, until all bundles are built
successfully.
$ cd bundles/asm-3.1
$ mvn install -e
$ cd ../asm-commons-3.1
$ mvn install -e
...
The order is:
asm-3.1 asm-commons-3.1 commons-cli log4j plexus-utils plexus-
logging plexus-archiver sxc-jaxb sxc-runtime
You might encounter dependency missing errors when building plexus-
logging, plexus-archiver sxc-jaxb sxc-runtime, resolve them like this:
For plexus-logging and plexus-archiver, update plexus-utils'
version in pom.xml to the one you just built
For sxc-jaxb, you need to build
"org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jaxb-impl", back to servicemix4
source tree and find it to build
Back to framework directory, and build again:
$ mvn install -e
You might to need to download some bundles manually. For my
experience, these bundles are manually downloaded and installed:
wget
http://repository.code-house.org/content/repositories/release/org/osgi/org.osgi.impl.bundle.jmx/4.2.0.200907080519/org.osgi.impl.bundle.jmx-4.2.0.200907080519.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.osgi -
DartifactId=org.osgi.impl.bundle.jmx -Dversion=4.2.0.200907080519 -
Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=org.osgi.impl.bundle.jmx-4.2.0.200907080519.jar
5. After you see success prompt, you can try to run osgi-ed geronimo
framework like this:
$ cd <gtrunk>/framework/assemblies/geronimo-framework/target/
assembly/bin
$ chmod +x *
$ ./karaf
Auto-properties start: org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Fragment
bundles can not be started.

OK! now you can try to install some application bundles with OSGi
commands. For how to use this console, see http://felix.apache.org/site/karaf-users-guide.html
