Thanks Geir for the comment. Makes sense. And Tom - thanks for
contributing!
As a sidenote, we're still on Bugzilla, not JIRA. (although there's a
movement to migrate to JIRA - Geir are you in favor?)
By the way, Tom - your zip didn't make it through the mailer. Use bugzilla
to attach it.
Best,
WILL
P.S. For those of us not familiar with it, maybe you could send a very
short summary of OSGi to the list, and what your package accomplishes?

Hang on.
We can't accept this in this way for IP reasons.
We will need information about the relationship, and who the copyright
owner is - was it a work for hire?
Also, rather than sending this way, if the contribution is "small" (I
have yet to look) adding via JIRA is best, as you have to confirm that
this is a contribution under the apache license.
If it's large, we'll need a software grant (a very simple form which says
you are the owner of the (c) and have the right to grant the ASF a
license for it...)

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your email. After quite some time I finally got around to do
the velocity-osgi bundle as part of the jakarta-velocity-tools project.
Could you please add it to CVS as I do not have commit rights?
Notes are below and in OSGI_TODO.txt, please let me know how it goes.
Cheers

be used in this product: http://www.gatewide.com/gw50.html

-------------
velocity-osgi
-------------
A build to wrap the current version of velocity into an OSGi bundle.
These are the steps performed to add the velocity-osgi build
functionality to the
jakarta-velocity-tools.
build.xml
- added property names
- added jar.osgi and compile tasks
build.properties
- added osgi.jar
- copied osgi.jar (API from OSGi Alliance) into lib folder
tools/src
- added additional sources for osgi (bundle activator, wrapper for Log
etc)
- added properties to start up velocity within OSGi
- added an OSGi manifest for the velocity-osgi bundle

Tom, yup! Ideally, we'd avoid duplicating any Velocity source or build
code, and wrap your build and source files over the rest.

Hi Daniel,
sounds good to me.
So, I still need to modify my build in such a way that it
- locates the relevant velocity classes (they must have been
previously build on the local machine in the
the build.dest directory)
- Then compiles the osgi specific sources against these classes
- packages both into an osgi bundle if compilation worked, using
whatever the current velocity version is.
And to do all this I should assume a directory structure like /
jakarta-velocity/contrib/velocity-osgi, right?
Thanks

Oh, I'm a lot more than two months behind. ;-)
The contrib area is something used by many open source projects to
house
useful code -- like yours -- which is generally not managed by that
project or its committers, but instead by outside contributors. It
generally doesn't ship with the project's deliverables (such as would
be
the case here). It's all about increasing the availability of
related
code which is useful to project participants, but not necessarily
something the maintainers consider core to the project.
You can see the top level of Velocity's contrib area here:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-velocity/contrib/
And the tool-specific area here:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-velocity/contrib/tools/
...which contains emacs, intellij, jedit, and ultraedit plug- ins.
We'd
probably start a new area at the same level as "tools" for your
contribution.
