The feature model [2] allows you to describe an OSGi application: - bundles - configurations - framework properties etc in a standard format. What is being worked on in Sling is the basis for the OSGi features specification. Packaging Oak as a feature model application means listing the needed bundles and configurations and launching it via the feature launcher. It will be very similar to what is done in the Sling Starter, but without a lot of the things available to Sling. Whether that is actually useful for your particular scenario is another discussion :-) Thanks, Robert [2]: https://sling.apache.org/documentation/development/feature-model.html > > Thanks, > > Carlo > > [0]: > https://sling.apache.org/documentation/development/testing-paxexam.html > [1]: https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-paxexam > > > > From: Robert Munteanu <[email protected]> > Date: Tuesday, 18 January 2022 at 17:44 > To: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Oak-it-osgi module > On Tue, 2022-01-18 at 16:38 +0000, Carlo Jelmini wrote: > > Up until now, I have used AEM Quickstart to manually test Oak > > changes, but the roundtrip is very slow, cumbersome, and > > frustrating... > > Well, it's probably much quicker if you use the Sling Starter. > > On that note, maybe Oak itself can be packaged as an OSGi application > using the feature model and that can then be used as a basis for > integration tests. > > That, of course, means that ITs will need to run from outside the > application, but on the other hand a proper project setup will > eliminate many runtime errors, like unsatisfied imports or missing > components. > > Thanks, > Robert > > [1]: > https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fapache%2Fsling-org-apache-sling-starter&data=04%7C01%7Cjelmini%40adobe.com%7C30f2c130a7e04035576708d9daa1bded%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C637781210483210866%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=KamBGKCeJxbK9uVloOxoFIwqp3WynYn5TzdkrPfm5jI%3D&reserved=0
