Craig: (got it right that time - sigh)
You had some experience with the "udig lite" effort that had bundled up some of
geotools as OSGi plugins? I cannot really remember any of the details since I
was not active at the time. Is there anything you can remember that may help
us?
Mathieu - one thing that may help is that we have all our GeoTools code using
the same "factoryregistery" class to check factory spi (and to hold onto a
singleton of each factory found). We have extended this factory registery in a
few cases to allow people to "register" additional implementations.
This was does explicitly so we could stuff things into GeoTools from Eclipse
RCP or from Spring.
So perhaps:
- we could try generating additional entries for the MANIFEST.MF based on the
services/ directory
- we could process these additional entries of the MANIFEST.MF and "register"
these additional factories with the appropriate register
