----------------------------------
Summary: make qpid jar OSGi friendly
Key: QPID-4037
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4037
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Tools
Reporter: Freeman Fang
qpid jar currently isn't OSGi friendly, so for those who wanna use it in OSGi
container, must wrap it with tool like bnd/maven-bundle-plugin. Apache
Servicemix always wrap 3rd party jars which isn't OSGi friendly, you can see
we've done it for lots of jars here[1], more specifically for several qpid
versions[2]. Though we may keep this way doing it, the problem is that we need
do it for every new released version for 3rd party jars, more importantly we
need ensure other Apache projects communities are aware of we're doing it.
In Servicemix we just wrap qpid 0.16, issues to track it in Servicemix is[3].
We hope Apache QPID can offer OSGi friendly jars, in most cases, it's should be
straightforward, as it just need add OSGi metadata headers to MANIFEST.MF, this
could be done easily with maven-bundle-plugin if build with maven. There's also
some other practice should be followed like different modules shouldn't share
same package(avoid split pacakge).
