Yay that sounds like the right path! Thanks Felix for the hint! I'm
looking forward to David Bosschaerts pointers to use the
Provide-/Require-Capability model!

Yes, thats correct.
Thanks,

Hi
I am a bit confused, sorry.
I am referring to the provider bundle at
https://github.com/sandroboehme/jsNodeTypes. Is that correct ?
Also having SLING-4001 in mind, I might come to the core of the
problem: You want to deploy an application which depends on the
functionality of the jsNodeTypes bundle. So you need a way to
indicate to OBR that if you application bundle is deployed, the
jsNodeTypes bundle must be installed as well.
Correct, Require-Bundle used to be the only solution here, though
cranky but feasible.
Nowadays we do have a more flexible Provide-/Require-Capability
model: The jsNodeTypes would Provide-Capability — the jsNodeTypes
feature — and your application would Require-Capability this
jsNodeTypes feature.
I have copied David Bosschaert who can certainly share how this
mechanism could be leveraged in this use case. Whether an existing
capability can be reused or whether you might want to define a custom
capability.

Hello,
in the Sling Resource-Editor I would like to integrate the
JavaScript JSNodeTypes library that doesn't have a public Java API.
But the user should still be able to use OSGi to easily install the
tool.
The problem is, when using the maven-bundle-plugin the Bnd tool
won't automatically find the dependency to that library when
looking for Java import statements and I cannot manually add a
'Import-Package' statement as there is no package I can use.
There is one thing to note: The JSNodeTypes library is created by
myself. This means if there is a solution that needs changes in
that library I could do that. E.g. I could create an empty Java
package in JSNodeTypes that I can use in an 'Import-Package'
statement.
But isn't there a better solution?
Thanks,
Sandro
