Hi Christoph, Yes, that is exactly what I tried already, to bundle neo4j and all the dependencies with the maven shade plugin (like the ones in service mix bundles). I realized that this is not really ideal for the following reasons:
1) The build time exploded, to create this huge jar takes more than 1minutes and 30 secs 2) The pom.xml is far from being straight forward to write, you need to have a good understanding of the internal structure of neo4j in order to maintain it. Also, I'm afraid this is time consuming on the long term and will requires tricky changes for each major release of neo4j. 3) It was not even working! I had issues with neo4j internal way of loading modules with the java 6 ServiceLoader mechanism, which did not find http services for reasons I still ignore... Anyway, I finally gave up fighting with it ;-) On Sat, Aug 5, 2017 at 1:50 PM, 'Christoph Läubrich' via OPS4J < ops4j@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Even though neo4j is not "osgi-friendly" (what ever that means ;-) you can > create abundle that embedds all that neo4j requires, add an Activator that > starts up your db and provide a custom service to trigger > "after-test-checks" in whatever way you need.
