OSGi TCK
Hi all,
I am still working on getting Felix into Eclipse plugin projects so
developers that work with Eclipse to develop OSGi bundles would feel
at home, I have close to every bundle working with Felix as an
extension point (one exception is the system bundle and I am not sure
if this is possible to be developed as an Eclipse plugin.)
What I would like to do next, is to integrate the TCK, but there are
some things maybe some of you might be able to answer
.) Did Apache lisenced the OSGi TCK?
.) There is an easy way to distribute this TCK?
Regards,
Lucas

well, there are some TCK results here:
http://felix.apache.org/site/felix-osgi-tck-results.html
but they are from last year...
My second option was having something like Cruse Control implemented

We have Bamboo doing continuous builds for Felix, which you can find
here:
http://opensource.bamboo.atlassian.com/browse/FELIX-DEF
Those builds run all tests in the project.

Sorry if I was not clear, I am not trying to build a bundle out of the
system bundle, I want to trick Eclipse into believing it is one so
some actions (like generating the .jar files that are done
automatically by the Eclipse extension point) is done automatically
when you are debugging.

I am sorry that you lost motivation on licensing the TCK, it would be
great to know how Felix is performing over the standard test :-(
My second option was having something like Cruse Control implemented
where the test are performed automaticaly (say) every day on trunk,
but now I see that this would be close to impossible.

The system bundle is not really a bundle at all, it is the framework itself.

The OSGi Alliance has defined some policy for allowing access to the TCK
to open source projects, but this still needs to be implemented for
Apache and Felix (i.e., there is some administrative work that needs to
be done, which I tried to start at one time but lost motivation). I need
to follow up on this. However, it will not provide for a way to
redistribute the TCK.

Hello Lucas,

No, they did not. We're still hoping one day they will! :)

No.
As far as I know, there are a couple of committers on Apache Felix
that have access to the TCK through their company or otherwise.
Richard runs Felix against the TCK (he is an invited researcher) but
we cannot officially claim we pass it.
