Hi Chuck, I read through Paul’s article and it still looks very relevant and well written.
You don’t really want to use bnd directly. It’s a low-level tool… it would be like using javac and the jar tool directly from the command line, rather than via a build system. Does anybody still do that?? Fortunately the Maven integration for bnd has improved markedly since Paul’s article was written, you can read about the suite of plugins available here: https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven <https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven> Regards, Neil > On 9 Jul 2017, at 23:50, Chuck Davis <cjgun...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Neil: > > I'm just beginning my investigation of OSGi because I want to do things > that it sounds like OSGi was designed to do and I'm too lazy to reinvent > the wheel if it already exists.
