Fwd: Exception when writing an OBR

[Tim McIver <tm...@verizon.net>]

Hello,

I have a repo file which I've generated using bindex
(https://github.com/osgi/bindex) but I'm getting an NPE when trying to
read in then write this repo to another file. Here's the stack trace I see:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at
org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl.toXml(DataModelHelperImpl.java:380)
    at
org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl.toXml(DataModelHelperImpl.java:336)

org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl.toXml(DataModelHelperImpl.java:299)
    at
org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl.writeRepository(DataModelHelperImpl.java:186)
    at com.timmciver.App.main(App.java:19)
   
And here's the test class I created that gives this exception:

// start
package com.timmciver;

import org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.DataModelHelper;
import org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.Repository;
import org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.DataModelHelperImpl;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.Writer;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File repoFile = new File(args[0]);
        DataModelHelper dmh = new DataModelHelperImpl();
        Repository repo = dmh.repository(repoFile.toURI().toURL());
        File outFile = File.createTempFile("obr-test-", ".xml");
        try (Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new
FileOutputStream(outFile))) {
            dmh.writeRepository(repo, writer);
        }
    }
}
//end

I've also created a github repo if anyone wants to run it themselves:
https://github.com/tmciver/obr-test.

After looking at the code a bit it seems that the repository parser is looking for a tag called "require" and not
"requirement" which is what my repository XML file has.  I think the repository parser is expecting to see an OBR-
specific file but Felix bundle repository claims to support both the OSGi Repository spec and an OBR-specific format
(http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-osgi-bundle-repository.html#ApacheFelixOSGiBundleRepository-OBRRepositoryFile).

So my question is "how do I get the bundlerepository code to parse my OSGi repository file?"

I should also probably state my main goal: I'm trying to update a remote OBR XML file with the data for a new bundle
resource.  I know the Maven Bundle Plugin does this but I'm actually trying to write a similar plugin for Leiningen -
Clojure's build tool.  If there's a better way to do this, I'm all ears. :)


Thanks,
Tim
