[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-373) eclipse:to-maven cannot resolve Required-Bundle: system.bundle

["Immo Huneke (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-373?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_122389 ] 

Immo Huneke commented on MECLIPSE-373:
--------------------------------------

Suggested improvement to the maven-eclipse-plugin: when parsing the MANIFEST.MF file during execution of the to-maven or create-artifacts goals, if a Require-bundle includes "system.bundle", treat it as "org.eclipse.osgi" implicitly. Everything else should then work as designed.

There may be additional OSGi bundle names that have conventional rather than literal meanings. It will probably be best to set up a lookup table (e.g. a static hash map).

>             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.5
>         Environment: Observed under MS Windows XP, probably affects all environments

> Install vanilla download of Eclipse RCP Developer (version 3.3.1.1, Europa). Try to install its plugins into the local Maven repository using
> mvn -DeclipseDir="/path/to/eclipse" eclipse:to-maven
> The error you get is:
> {code}[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Unable to resolve version range for dependency Dependency {groupId=system
> , artifactId=bundle, version=[0,), type=jar} in project org.apache.xerces
> [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------{code}
> My investigations have established that this can be worked around by (a) creating a Maven artifact called "system.bundle" using file:deploy-file, and (b) altering the manifest file to add the specific version number of that artifact to the above bundle requirement. You have to do this for every single Eclipse plugin that has a dependency on the OSGi system bundle. This is very laborious!
> I tried expressing the version number in the manifest as a range, but that didn't work. In other cases, where a version range is required, it seems to work fine, but not for system.bundle. See my blog at http://aspsp.blogspot.com/ for more details.
