Another issue I have with the OBR is that our use of it is slightly
off the norm: I need to be able to request the OBR in an "absolute
way", regardless of the bundles already installed in my JVM.
For my tests, I've modified the Repository implementation so that
the only packages seen as "local" are the ones exported by bundle #0
(the core JDK packages that are not part of my OBR).
Could this be suggested as a "boolean activated option" for the OBR?
If I understand you correctly, you want OBR to ignore all exported
packages except those from system bundle. If that is the case, I am
not sure if this is a good feature to support in general...at least I
cannot think of any use cases for it. Perhaps other people have
thoughts on it.
Maybe to put it differently, I wish we could use the OBR to simply
calculate all dependencies for a given list of bundles.
Currently the dependencies that are installed locally are stripped
from the OBR response, because it is assumed that the new bundles are
to be installed locally. But i cannot use it to launch a separate JVM
or store the result for later reference...
Is there another means to calculate all dependencies for a list of
bundles?
Ok, stating it that way makes it sound a little more reasonable than the
way I stated it. What you describe is actually an idea that has been
floating around since we created this version of OBR, which is creating
a separate resolver to do precisely what you are asking, i.e., an API
for resolving bundles. The idea was this single resolver API could be
used by both the framework and OBR. It is still a worthwhile goal, but I
don't think we have the time for that yet.
Perhaps you could create an RFE issue in JIRA against OBR to request
better control over the repositories used during the resolve process
(specifically the local repository). It might be something that could be
added in some reasonable way.
