How to include resources from the dependent jar file?

Hi,

How do I include resources from the dependent jar file?
For ex. I'm converting geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.1.jar to osgi bundle and I've
the following definitions in pom.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <instructions>
            <Bundle-Name>${artifactId}</Bundle-Name>

<Bundle-SymbolicName>${groupId}.${artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
            <Export-Package>javax.persistence*;version=${jpa.version
};-noimport:=true</Export-Package>
            <Import-Package>*</Import-Package>
            <Implementation-Version>${jpa.version}</Implementation-Version>
        </instructions>
    </configuration>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
        <artifactId>geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec</artifactId>
        <version>${jpa.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Now, If I want to include a resource in META-INF, what instructions I should
use?
It is very much needed for some swing-ui libraries which define other
resources at the top level of the jar.
Are they also considered as packages or private packages?
or
What is the syntax for <Include-Resource> in such a scenario?(PS. I don't
have the jar file relative to pom, only a dependency is set)

Thanks,
Prashant

Hello Stuart,

Thanks a lot.  That clarified my doubt and I could get it working easily.

Thanks,
Prashant

first some background, the general Include-Resource syntax is:

  <Include-Resource>iclause,iclause,...</Include-Resource>

where:

  iclause    ::= inline | copy
  copy       ::= '{' process '}' | process
  process    ::= assignment | simple
  assignment ::= PATH '=' PATH
  simple     ::= PATH
  inline     ::= '@' PATH ( '!/' PATH? ('/**' | '/*')? )?

( taken from the Bnd docs at http://aqute.biz/Code/Bnd#include-resource )

by default the bundle-plugin will add all maven resources to
Include-Resource,
ie. any files in src/main/resources will be copied to the bundle - so for
example
src/main/resources/META-INF/foo would be copied to META-INF/foo.

however, if you explicitly set Include-Resource then maven resources won't
be
copied unless you add {maven-resources} to the includes (see issue
FELIX-343)

now, to get back to your question :)

any dependency on the compilation classpath can be unpacked using:

     @artifactId-version.jar!/PATH

so:

   <Include-Resource>
     @geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-${jpa.version}.jar!/META-INF/**
   </Include-Resource>

should copy the META-INF folder from the dependency into the bundle.

HTH

that's ok - the bnd tool can use the compilation classpath to locate
resources
