[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-515) Support OSGi bundles without requiring OSGi dependencies.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13967983#comment-13967983 ] 

Matt Sicker commented on LOG4J2-515:
------------------------------------

Making a parallel repo with svn:external to the various subdirectories might be a good way to implement a lot of this.

> In order to properly support OSGi, we need to use a combination of ideas.
> # Packages and modules should be as coherent as possible. This makes bundling them into bundles and services significantly easier. Plus, it's a good idea anyway.
> # Use [Felix SCR annotations|http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-maven-scr-plugin/scr-annotations.html] in order to support more advanced OSGi concepts without requiring an explicit dependency on OSGi. This way, the annotations can be discarded or ignored by non-OSGi environments.
> # Provide more bundles. The core bundles, while a good start, could be further modularized.
> # Don't rely on class loader hacks. Instead, methods that need to use a class loader should always include a ClassLoader parameter. Class loader hacks can be used in centralized locations as a fallback mechanism where no advanced class loaders are provided.
