Use OSGI's way to install/uninstall Geronimo Plugins/Applications

[Ivan <xh...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
    In the OSGI environment, we could use BundleContext.install and
Bundle.uninstall to do the saving/deleting actions to the repository. I
think that we could take advantage of it, those codes in the
Maven2Repository and ConfigurationStore could be replaced. Also, I guess the
mvn url could be used here.
   Any comment ?

I don't think this will work.  The way I've set it up so far, you put  
stull in the repository through file based actions such as assembling  
a server using the car-maven-plugin or just copying files in.  Then  
you can use bundleContext.install(<mvn-url>) to tell osgi about the  
bundle.  Since this is set up to use references, this causes osgi to  
make an entry in the data directory with some info saying that osgi  
knows about the bundle.  There's also the DependencyManager that looks  
for the install event and installs all the geronimo dependencies into  
osgi.

Yes, I think so, pax url bundle provide the mvn url handler so that we can
install and resovle a bundle by specifying in mvn:// format.
