Thanks.  I worked around this by disabling the tests.

Re: it doesn't seem right to me that we should change protobuf to make it  
conform to the specification of a certain container. All Apache jars and  
many, many other popular jars (Spring, Guice, etc) have added OSGi headers,  
It's a trivial way to be a good citizen in the open source community.

it doesn't seem right to me that we should change protobuf to make it  
conform to the specification of a certain container. -- In addition to  
the other comments, I might also note that, to be completey accurate, you  
aren't really *changing* protobuf as such. Rather you are *adding* support  
for many containers and applications that use OSGi meta-data. And the good  
part is that this addition is trivial and completely compatible with  
non-OSGi containers and applications.

I would like to use protobuf (in its latest version) in my equinox project  
too... Today I had to use a old version that was wrapped by spring source :(

Protobuf is about enabling optimal data transfer between devices and  
servers. OSGi is about java software on mobile devices as well as other  
platforms. Seems only natural that the java version of protobuf has these  
headers in its manifest.

I have no idea of how widely OSGi is used in the open source community. Is  
it the suggested way to add OSGi meta data to every Java jar?

This is the best way to add suport in my opinion since the manifest file  
gets generated and there's no room for mistakes there -

Thanks for looking into it.

Re: Is it the suggested way to add OSGi meta data to every Java jar? Yes.  
Increased modularity is Java's future, and OSGi is the dominant mechanism  
for modularity today. It's trivial to support it and it's very popular.  
Adding these few header values can increase protobuf's reach with almost no  
work.

It could be good to have two different artifacts for the full-blown version  
and the significantly smaller and leaner lite version... if it is possible  
to distinguish, at runtime, between the full-blown version and the lite  
version (using some combination of versioned package exports ?).

should include OSGi metadata

http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=298

If you have a lite and full jar, from an OSGi perspective, it is better  
*not* to distinguish the package exports i.e. for the packages that  
overlap, the package export spec should be exactly the same. The only  
difference will be that the full jar will export extra packages.


That way users can decide (based on which packages they need to import)  
which jar they need to use.


This approach also lends towards good code structure -- full jar  
functionality will be isolated at the package level.
