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?

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 -AZ -- Aaron Zeckoski ([email protected]) Senior Research Engineer - CARET - Cambridge University https://twitter.com/azeckoski - http://www.linkedin.com/in/azeckoski http://aaronz-sakai.blogspot.com/ - http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/~aaronz/ <http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/%7Eaaronz/> _______________________________________________ OSGi Developer Mail List [email protected] https://mail.osgi.org/mailman/listinfo/osgi-dev -- Cheers, Stuart ________________________________________ This E-Mail (including any attachments) may contain privileged or confidential information.
