I am quite new to the OSGi and the project I am working on will be based on OSGi.
Obviously, one of our considerations is the loadbuild. I did some googling on this subject to asses what changes we have to make in our existing loadbuild environment to build osgi bundles and I want to ask some questions to the people in this list to get a general feeling of what people are doing for the loadbuilds. Currently, the project I am working on uses maven2 for the loadbuilds. May be it is a naïve questions to ask, but I am trying to see is a viable option for building osgi components without making big changes to the existing loadbuild infrastructure. By the way we are using equinox osgi container, not quite sure if this matters from the loadbuild infrastructure point of view. Based on my googling, I understand that there is a maven-osgi plugin which our current loadbuild doesn't use this plugin. Now, here is my basic fundamental question : - Is it possible to use standard maven2 (without the maven-osgi plugin) to generate osgi bundles, given that we will hand-write the MANIFEST.MF files, rather than using maven-osgi plugin to generate them ? Is there any cases people can think of where this approach wouldn't work technically ? I understand that this approach might manifest some maintenance issues, but I am just trying to understand if it can get us started. Thanks, Gul
