Thanks Neil! That's useful information. In the mean time I also found that you can generate OBR repository.xml files via the maven-obr-plugin with the following command: mvn org.apache.felix:maven-obr-plugin:1.2.0:install-file -Dfile=<bundle> -DgroupId=<some-group-id> -DartifactId=<bsn> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=jar -DobrRepository=.../somewhere/repository.xml
In the mean time I think it would be great to start supporting the OSGi Repository spec in the Felix Bundle Repository. I've created few issues for that under: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4368 Cheers, David On 2 January 2014 15:16, Neil Bartlett <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi David, > > I'll let somebody else answer whether Felix OBR can use the spec-compliant > XML.
