OSGi Bundle Repository support for Archiva
Hey guys,
I started some work on building an OBR repository consumer that will
produce a repository.xml file in the root of the managed repositories.
For those who don't know OBR is the OSGi Bundle Repository [1]. The
repository.xml (or .zip) describes the bundles, their locations and
versions that are available in the repository (or a remote one for that
matter).
OSGi bundles deployed using Maven to Archiva (or simply placed in the
repository) should then be made almost immediately available via OBR
clients.
Anyway, this should give us the basis for excellent support in Archiva
OSGi. Atlassian plan to use Archiva as the platform for serving plugins
and their dependent OSGi bundles - which is really cool :)
Anyone have any thoughts, questions?
Cheers,
James

Nice! I can check that off my list from SpringOne then. ;) 'Archiva
as an OSGi bundle repository?'
Have you seen the SpringSource bundle repo?

Indeed! :-)
I'll definitely take this for a spin when I get a chance to get back to
code.

I'm interested in P2 also. My understanding (admittedly still somewhat fuzzy
at this point) is that there is a fair bit of overlap, and that P2 goes
further than OBR in many respects but also lacks some pieces such as repo
federation.
It will be interesting to see where we can take this.

Very cool stuff James! :-)
Do you know how (if?) OBR and Eclipse P2 overlap any?

Waouh, great :-))
Looking forward to having time to test this.

Awesome! Checking out the branch, testing it and providing feedback
would help alot - diving into the code and improving it is also very
welcome :)

Since sitting here and being a member of the Felix team I could of
course not resist to forward this great news to our developers list !
Thanks alot for tackling with this. Its great to see that there is
something going on in this direction outside of Felix.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. We would certainly be more
than willing to help.

Nice :)
You might want to ping the Felix team as they were looking to set one
up at Apache. Depending on what they need, we can host it on an
existing instance or help them set one up.
