Andreas Hartmann-Schneevoigt commented on MYFACES-2290:
-------------------------------------------------------

Sounds good. Will this be included in the 1.2 branch and whats the timeframe for this? What can we do to prioritize this issue? 
We are going to port our application to osgi for more flexibility and of course maintainability. 
So if myfaces would be more kindly to an osgi environment would be a big step forward.

> The provided patch will add OSGi information to bundle manifest. A bundle activator class makes the MyFaces framework aware that it is running in a bundle environment. A bundle classloader is used to load classes and resources from the bundle classpath. The patch doesn't require any new runtime dependencies and doesn't affect class loading in a non-OSGi environment. Though, small modifications to classloading were needed. This was mainly replacing Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader() with ClassUtils methods.
> To run MyFaces in an OSGi environment both bundles (myfaces-api and myfaces-impl) have to be started in the OSGi container. Additionally, the myfaces-impl bundle has to be made available to myfaces-api. Use a fragment bundle with myfaces-api as Fragment-Host and myfaces-impl as Required-Bundle.
