Hi Jacques,
Opentap guy has helped in creating the documentation as they are planing
to use it for their product. I had created the prototype to develop
OFBiz based application for our own products. Integration project itself
is Apache 2.0 licensed and does not use any code form Opentaps. It does
use binaries from Eclipse Equinox and other dependencies used by OFBiz
but converted to OSGi bundles instead of plain jars.
I put a word about it in mailing list. I there is a community interest,
I can certainly create a page on Wiki.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
I wonder why, if this uses OFBiz only, the doc is at
http://opentaps.org/docs/index.php/Ofbiz-osgi-prototype
and there is nothing in official Apache OFBiz documentation (wiki) ?
Is there any reasons ?
Thanks
Jacques

Hi Chris,
I have created a prototype integration of OFBiz and OSGI at source
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ofbiz-osgi/). This runs OFBiz as a
framework inside a OSGi Kernal. As of now it loads framework as well
as application. I have tested the service engine and entity engine
and both works fine in OSGi environment. Web applications are not
integrated and deployed in this prototype however, it should not be
difficult to do so.
If you want to use the OFBiz as a framework to develop your own
applications using technologies such as JSF, Struts, Spring Web or
Eclipse RAP, you can use the OFBiz/OSGi very well. without carrying
the baggage of other OFBiz web applications.
Thanks,
Raj

From the work I have done on creating an Eclipse application, I
quite like the OSGi plugin concept. OSGi may help ofbiz in areas
like dependency management and hot upgrades. Maven 2 would be
suitable as the build tool.
There is a lot to learn about OSGi first though...
Please feel free to put a design or prototype together :o)
Though discussing it before avoids disillusions... So what is your
idea, Maven 2 ?
