Hi ivy-users, we are currently setting up a large code repository for OSGI bundles. Goal of this work is to create recommendations models for Eclipse Code Recommenders intelligent code completion, code search, and extdocs platform (see http://eclipse.org/recommenders and http://code-recommenders.blogpost.com for details). The OSGI bundles will be collected from public available Eclipse Update Sites and should be stored locally using a Maven/Ivy like directory structure. After the sites have been copied, several analyses will be run to extract information such as frequent usage patterns, common code snippets etc.
I just learned that since 2.3. Ivy has support for dealing with OSGI dependencies such as import packages etc. which is really big news! Since documentation is a bit rare yet, I'd like to ask you for little information what can be done with Ivy 2.3: 1. Is it supported to copy/mirror an Eclipse P2 repository into a local Ivy repository? 2. Is there a simply way to create an Ivy file from an existing OSGI-bundle manifest? 3. How well is resolving OSGI dependencies supported? Are there any known limitations I should be aware? Thanks a lot, Marcel -- Eclipse Code Recommenders: w www.eclipse.org/recommenders tw www.twitter.com/marcelbruch g+ www.gplus.to/marcelbruch
