Jukka Zitting commented on LUCENE-3167:
---------------------------------------
We discussed this briefly with Tommaso and a few OSGi experts last week.
While adding bundle metadata to the Lucene jars is fairly straightforward to
implement, doing so comes with a commitment to maintain correct semantic
versioning at the package-level (see
http://www.osgi.org/wiki/uploads/Links/SemanticVersioning.pdf). Without such a
commitment the package version information will eventually become outdated and
incorrect, which can lead to tricky problems for OSGi deployments. Most notably
properly managed package versions will often *not* follow the main product
version numbers, as even when backwards-incompatible changes is introduced in
one package, another package might still remain unchanged.
The best incremental solution here could be to initially export only one or two
key packages for which semantic version information can be maintained without
too much overhead going forward. A good starting point could be something like
a separate facade package for which stronger-than-usual backwards compatibility
promises can be made. Once there's more OSGi experience in the core Lucene
community, more packages can be exported to OSGi clients.

> We need to make a bundle thriugh Ant, so the binary can be published and no
> more need the download of the sources. Actually to get a OSGI bundle we need
> to use maven tools and build the sources. Here the reference for the creation

> Bndtools could be used inside Ant
