Hi, I need something a bit unorthodox and it would be great if anybody could point me in the right direction.
We are using bundle maven plugin, so all our OSGi meta is stored in pom. Usually we build out product just by running maven, but during development it's more trouble than it's worth, so I just would like to compile different modules (OSGi bundles) to their own classes directory using an IDE (Intellij in our case). Then I need to start OSGi framework, but I don't have bundles as jars, I have them as "classes" directories. There is a way to install and start a bundle in felix from a directory using "reference:" url. But the problem is that there is no bundle manifest in "classes" because bundle maven plugin generates it only to jar. So the question is: can I somehow start bundle plugin standalone (at my runtime) to generate manifest from the specified pom? I understand that I can use bnd at runtime, but I would like to avoid that since all my OSGi meta is already in pom, so using bundle plugin would be a better choice here. Thanks a lot! -- Dmitry Skavish
