Stuart,
 
Outta curiosity, what's the OBR extension for the Nexus repo do? Allow
people to pull down deps through nexus from an OBR? 
 
On another note, what is the status of the OBR proposal? I guess people
are using it, but is it finished?

Subject: Re: [osgi-dev] Finding OBR xml files?


2009/5/31 Aaron Zeckoski <[email protected]>


        I am having trouble finding the locations of the OBR xml files
for the
        repositories out there (like these ones):
        http://felix.apache.org/obr/releases.xml
        http://incubator.apache.org/sling/obr/repository.xml
        http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/repository.xml
        
        Two repos that I would really like to find these for are:
        http://www.osgi.org/Repository
        and
        http://www.springsource.com/repository/
        


see http://sigil.codecauldron.org/OBR+Repository for the missing links
;)
the main OSGi Alliance OBR is ~14meg so you should definitely cache
this file locally to avoid overloading the OSGi Alliance server!



        Can anyone help or suggest ways to find these? Is there a
central list
        of all OBRs somewhere?
        
        On a similar topic, are there repositories that are especially
good
        for pushing bundles into? By this I mean it can be done without
much
        manual intervention and they are used a lot. Or should people
        typically be setting up their own?


I've been writing an OBR extension for the Nexus repository manager
(this will be part of Nexus Pro, which is free for qualifying open
source
 projects - otherwise you would need a commercial license to use this)

or you could use the maven-bundle-plugin, which can automatically
update both local and remote OBR files thanks to goals contributed
by Clement Escoffier (uses Peter's Bindex tool, available from the
OSGi Alliance site - I also use this tool to generate OBR metadata)

I'm hoping to use the Nexus OBR extension to build up metadata for
publicly available bundles (such as all bundles on Maven central, etc.)
you could take advantage of this work, or you could setup your own
collection using any of the tools listed above

HTH
