Hello,

are there any recommendations on how to convert a massive Java application that uses a lot of native library code and custom classpathes to OSGi?

I think there are 2 ways.

1. Put everything that is Java into one bundle and everything native into a fragment bundle. Then start to extract smaller parts of the app into their own bundles and replace custom class-path loading.

2. Choose parts of the app that can be grouped together into bundles easily and rebuild the app "from scratch" using bundles.

Any experiences from the people here which solution is to favor? I tend to think 1 is easier to accomplish. But it would also drag in a lot of old code, whereas with the second way you could rewrite code and kick out old code.

Thanks for your inputs on this,
Phil
