[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-4912) Should plugins be packed jar files or exploded?

Should plugins be packed jar files or exploded?
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4912
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4912
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: osgi
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: David Jencks


Currently the osgi framework only works with plugins packed as jar files, not exploded jar files like the regular geronimo server.  Since osgi can deal with classpaths inside a  jar file, I rather think that we should proceed with this as standard practice for the rest of the server.  However this will mean moving the archiving functionality out of the car-maven-plugin and into the deployer.

The alternative is to make sure that unpacked plugins actually work in osgi.  I didn't experiment with this at all.

----------------------------------------

I would really rather not unpack plugins unless we have no alternative, so I'll look into fixing these problems.

Seems karaf support exploded bundles already, See: http://felix.apache.org/site/1-overview.html

{quote}
In addition, the Karaf also supports exploded bundles and custom deployers (blueprint and spring ones are included by default).

---------------------------------------

Currently, some API that assumes car are exploded are not working well because car are packed in Geronimo 3.0.   Some of them are:

RepositoryConfigurationStore.listConfigurations()
ExecutableConfigurationUtil.writeConfiguration(ConfigurationData, File)
RepositoryConfigurationStore.createNewConfigurationDir(Artifact)


Which are keeping me from migrating some of deployer shell commands.

Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMO-4912:
----------------------------------------

There was some recent discussion within osgi of defining a standard URL handler to allow a directory of files to be loaded as a bundle.  There was a lot of discussion, but I'm not sure it really went anywhere.  I'm not aware that there's any standard ability to do this.
