-----------------------------------
Summary: Retire artifacts that produce an OSGi bundle
Key: JENA-2165
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-2165
Project: Apache Jena
Issue Type: Wish
Components: OSGi
Affects Versions: Jena 4.2.0
Reporter: Andy Seaborne
This ticket is to discuss retiring OSGi support in the Jena build and release.
In the 4.2.0 release cycle, a new problem emerged caused by adding a dependency
on [Titanium JSON-LD|https://github.com/filip26/titanium-json-ld] to get
JSON-LD 1.1 support which is not currently OSGi compatible. There is a quick
fix in the code making Titanium optional for the OSGi bundle but that seems
rather unsatisfactory and blocks us switching to Titanium for JSON-LD reading
by default.
Testing of OSGi within the build has skipped because it does not work. The
tests setup fails for a single build from empty and the release, and release
checking, do exactly that. JENA-913.
We don't have OSGi skills/interest amongst the developers.
If the project does not have assistance in maintaining the OSGi bundle support,
we ought to consider retiring the OSGi artifacts.
Retiring:
# Removing the code from the git repo
# Leaving a marker in the directory with the commit id of the last time it was
in the codebase.
# Code can be brought out of retirement if there is sufficient interest and
support.
Artifacts: apache-jena-osgi and under that directory: jena-osgi,
jena-osgi-features, jena-osgi-test.
