Andreas Veithen commented on SMX4-877:
--------------------------------------
This issue is basically invalid. The real problem is that the ServiceMix
project has created Abdera bundles that are incorrectly packaged. If you look
at the original bundles produced by the Abdera project, you can see that
abdera-parser embeds axiom-api and axiom-impl (at least in the trunk, I didn't
check the released versions). This means that abdera-parser doesn't import any
Axiom packages. That is the correct way of doing things. On the other hand, the
Abdera bundles from ServiceMix import packages from axiom-api (which would be
OK) and axiom-impl (which is totally wrong, as explained in AXIOM-370).
I think that by repackaging the whole world and by creating custom bundles that
violate the design principles of upstream projects, ServiceMix is not only not
helping these communities to produce good bundles (as Dan said above), but
actually acting against the interests of these communities. In the case of
Axiom, I'm trying to promote a strict separation between the public API and
implementation specific classes, and hiding these classes in the OSGi bundles
is part of that strategy (although that was originally implemented by somebody
else). If the ServiceMix project now publishes repackaged Axiom bundles that
export these classes again and people start to use them outside of ServiceMix
(which is the case for other repackaged bundles), then this is a bad thing for
the progress of the Axiom project.

> Project: ServiceMix 4
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Bundles
> Reporter: Willem Jiang
> Assignee: Willem Jiang
> Fix For: 4.4.0
>
>
> Axiom provides OSGi bundle, but there are some issues of these bundles
> * axiom-api exports the package without version
> * axiom-impl never exports the packages in its bundle
> If you are using the axiom-api and axiom-impl bundles with Abdera core in the
> ServiceMix, you will hit the issue of class not found.
