felix.jar in Maven Central

[Simon Chemouil <sc...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm currently setting up an Android app that embeds Felix, and I want
to use Maven for the build. I need to have a (Maven) dependency on
felix.jar (i.e, the Felix core framework that resides in the bin/
directory of the Felix main distribution) but it seems this Jar has
not been deployed to Maven Central since 2009.

For now, I installed the JAR in my local repository manually, but this
requires every developer to do so. I also guess it would be possible
to have a dependency on the Felix main distribution zip file
(available in Maven Central), do some maven-fu to unzip it using
maven-dependencies-plugin and somehow setup the project, but really,
I'm just looking for felix.jar :-).

If it's somewhere, could you point it to me or would it be possible to
start deploying felix.jar to Central as well as the Felix main
distribution for these "embedded Felix" use cases?

Thanks,

That's exactly what I needed. I was looking for that name, filtering
on org.apache.felix groupid on search.maven.org and did not see there
were several pages! I was a bit surprised not to find it, so the
mystery is solved. Next time I'll browse
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/felix/ directly!

Actually I don't need the main :).

Thanks a lot for the quick reply,

If you are talking about the framework its available as:

org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.framework

However, the felix.jar is just a rename of:

org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.main

so if you really need the main, just depend on it.

Karl
