Kelvin,

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-1293 contains the patch that
enables SDO to run under OSGi. At the moment, the OSGi manifest entries in
EMF jars and the OSGi bundle activator have a dependency on Eclipse runtime
(and hence on Equinox). Since Tuscany SCA is tested under Apache Felix OSGi
runtime (and Felix is easily available from a public maven repository), the
tests in the patch for TUSCANY-1293 are also run under Apache Felix. These
tests modify the manifest entries of the EMF jars before installing them
under Felix. The patch should work for Equinox without any changes to EMF.

It would be good if a cleaner solution could be implemented for SDO to run
under Felix without modifying EMF. This is the response I got from Ed Merks
on the EMF newsgroup:


*This question probably really should be directed to the Apache folks.  At
Eclipse I can just provide a version intended to run with the Equinox
runtime so the Tuscany folks probably ought to make a version that works
well with Felix.  Have you asked them about this?  I'd be curious what they
say...
*

For now, it may be best to apply the patch which enables SDO to run under
Equinox without modifying EMF, and with Felix with modified EMF jars. If
there is a wider interest in running SDO under Felix, an alternative may be
needed. Redistributing EMF with SDO with different manifest entries doesn't
seem a good option.

Suggestions?



Thank you...

Regards,

Rajini
