if you're expecting another bundle to provide the httpclient classes then add it as a provided dependency to your bundle's pom - the classes will be available on the classpath during compilation and the bundle plugin will use BND to add the necessary OSGi import metadata to the Jar. if you want to include the httpclient classes inside your bundle then you can either embed the jar (bit complicated - see how the pax-plugin does this, or wait for FELIX-308) or ask BND to add the classes like so: <Export-Package>org.apache.commons.httpclient.*</Export-Package> or if you want to keep them private to your bundle: <Private-Package>org.apache.commons.httpclient.*</Private-Package> and BND will pull the classes from the httpclient jar on the classpath and add them to your bundle (note: you may need to add more packages to pull in classes that httpclient depends on). there's several examples given at: http://cwiki.apache.org/FELIX/maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html another good source of inspiration is Peter's BND page at: http://www.aqute.biz/Code/Bnd if you get stuck, send an email and attach your pom and I'll take a look. > > greetings, arash > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Cheers, Stuart --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
