Best way to launch felix from maven
Hi all,
I was wondering what the best practice was for launching OSGI applications
from maven was. I've been trying to launch applications by using say the
easybeans felix launcher and calling that plugin's goal from the run
configuration. This has been giving me quite a bit of trouble, and I can't
really find ANY documentation on how people are launching their OSGI
applications in a maven environment. Any insight, experiences, or best
practices would be much appreciated. I also need to ensure that hot code
replace will work.
Thanks!
Brendan Haverlock

I raised issue PAXCONSTRUCT-113
<http://issues.ops4j.org/browse/PAXCONSTRUCT-113>, which is the only
thing preventing me from using it every day.

if you're using the maven based pax-plugin then it should be resolving
artifacts in your reactor and passing them to the pax-runner launcher
I've been meaning to either try and patch the pax:run mojo to fix that, or

there's already a chunk of code in "pax:provision" (aliased to "pax:run")
to check for bundles in the reactor and resolve them - you could try the
latest 1.5-SNAPSHOT as there's been a few changes in that area

you could try JavaRebel:
http://www.zeroturnaround.com/blog/javarebel-boosting-eclipse-plugin-development/
( you can give it a whirl for free to see if it works for your scenario, and
the pricing is reasonable if it does work )

RE: Best way to launch felix from maven

Thanks Stefano,
The only real solution that would work is [3], but that sucks that you have
to use remote debugging. Is there any known solution using maven and OSGi
that allows for just in place debugging and hot code replacement? I don't
care which launcher I have to use as long as I can achieve that.

From my experience the best companion for hot code replacement and
debug in eclipse is pax-cursor [1] which is basically a front-end shaped
as eclipse-plugin for pax-runner [2]. Unfortunately, AFAIK there is no
integration between maven and pax-cursor.
Alternately, you may consider to use pax-construct (aka Maven Pax
Plugin) [3] which, by means of pax:provision (or pax:run) goal, inspect
the pom for starting an OSGi platform with all the required bundles. In
this way, you won't be able to use hot-code replacement neither
debugging, unless you instruct the Maven Pax Plugin to start the JVM
containing OSGi with the remote debugging option (i.e.: -Xdebug
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 [4]).

I just installed the pax runner plugin in maven and got my "hello world"

in eclipse?
Thank you!

Pax runner is awesome! You should definitely give it a look. That

Runner will use its own internal mechanism to resolve bundles that are

Pax runner is awesome! You should definitely give it a look. That
said, the only problem you might run into, which I've run into as well
and just haven't had the time to do anything about it, is that Pax
Runner will use its own internal mechanism to resolve bundles that are
maven dependencies and so won't use artifacts from the reactor. I've
been meaning to either try and patch the pax:run mojo to fix that, or
wrap the pax:run goal in another plugin that does the resolution and
then hands off the resolved artifacts to pax runner. One day I may
