Hi,
I am new to OSGi and I am trying to add OSGi metadata to a .jar using
Maven. I have seen the 'Adding OSGi metadata to existing projects
without changing the packaging type' section
at
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html,
that is:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>bundle-manifest</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>manifest</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
My .jar contains a MyAPIService public abstract class, and a
MyServiceImpl class implementing MyAPIService. It also contains a
MyServiceActivator extending org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator.
I have two questions:
i) The documentation does not mention configuration of the maven plugin
to specify what my activator is, or what should be exported, imported,
etc... Is this a necessary step in my case? If yes, how should I
proceed? My service does not have dependencies on other services.
ii) My situation is simple, but what if I have two activators for two
services in the same .jar? Will the plugins mentioned above
automatically detect this and populate the MANIFEST properly? Is this
good practice to put two (or more) services in the same .jar? Should I
separate them?
Thanks,
JVersty
