[jira] Commented: (FELIX-648) Make system bundle export org.osgi.service.permissionadmin/condpermadmin

["Marcel Offermans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12617337#action_12617337 ] 

Marcel Offermans commented on FELIX-648:
----------------------------------------

Karl actually has an implementation of PA and CPA (and I helped out a bit). This is done as a framework extension, so you can simply plug it in. When you do that, the packages are made available too. I would prefer that you simply provide those packages yourself instead of adding them to the framework, or rewrite your bundle to detect if PA/CPA are present without actually having to import them (as an example of that, look at the core framework and how it "discovers" a log service in that way).

> As org.osgi.service.permissionadmin and condpermadmin package is part of core OSGi spec I'm thinking that the system bundle of Felix should also export those packages even if there is no actual service implementation of those services.
> As an use case I have some bundles that import those packages (non optional) but those bundles could function if actual services are not present.
> In order to this on the current code base is just a matter of changing the maven bundle plugin <Export-Package> to include this packages while building the framework bundle and add them to the property "org.osgi.framework.system.packages" in main/conf.properties. I can provide a patch if required.
> As comparison, Equinox/Knopflerfish use the same approach. Export the packages but do not actually implement the service and I guess that Felix does not do that as there are no implementations of this services built in into framework. I guess that the other implementations provide those packages as they export all the packages from osgi core spec.
