Subject: Felix M2 Plugin feedback
...
2) I couldn't figure out how to 'install' or 'deploy'. Are
these features in there yet?
You mean to a OSGi runtime instance? No, not yet. I'm currently just
using the OSGi shell to manually install a bundle after I used maven to
build. We are still highly under-utilizing Maven at this point. It's
just the start...
So far the plugin only has one goal, which is "osgi:osgi-jar"
I meant in the maven sense, to a maven repo: 'install' to the local
repo, 'deploy' to the remote repo. I update the runtime out of my
local maven repo.
3) I would prefer to compile and bundle in a single step.
With the maven-osgi-bundle my most-used goal is 'maven -o
clean osgi:install'
which would clean, compile, and install my bundle to my local
repo. I then install or update in the framework directly out
of the maven repo.
Of course if you note any of these issues as bugs/new
features I'll be sure to add them to JIRA. I was pretty
easily able to get started with
M2 and the Felix M2 Plugin and compile and bundle one of my
projects. I think 'install' support is the main showstopper for me.
Yeah... Just create an issue for any feature you'd like to see. At some
point, I'm hoping there will be other developers besides myself working
on the plugin. :)
OK, if we're on the same page about dropping the '-bundle' and then
tying in the <packaging>osgi-bundle</packaging> then I can take a look
at that. I'll work off JIRA issues in case you or Brett get around to
them, too.
