Hello World!
Hi everybody,
my name is Julian and as I’m new on this list, I just wanted to shortly introduce myself. I’m a contributor to some Apache projects (PLC4X, IoTDB, Calcite) and I met some karaf folks at the ApacheCon in Las Vegas (I was the guy hanging around introducing JB and Serge).
I have Karaf on my radar for quite some time but always considered it to hard for us to adopt.
But, as Serge gave me an awesome hands on introduction yesterday, I feel like we should really start to work with it and see how it goes. So, expect some mails from me here or on user@.
Best
Julian

Hi JB,
thanks for the warm welcome!
It was not so improvised, I mean, we were really productive and I really learned a lot from Serge!
Since then I'm playing around with it and will for sure be active on the list (or in Slack probably) : )

Awesome ! It was great to meet you and Serge talked with me about your

It makes sense, and I agree with you, sometime users are lost to find
the right solution.
Karaf examples show a "panel" of what you can do, in different ways.
I would propose a full application, more "directive" in the approach
used, a bit as we did in Decanter (adopting SCR everywhere, etc).
A full stack application running in Karaf (as example) would be great,
probably not as part of the Karaf examples, but more a karaf-tutorial or
karaf-boot isolated repo (not necessary at Apache).

JB

Don't get me wrong. The karaf examples are great and do a good job in
showing all the features karaf has.
The big issue though is that the examples show a lot of ways of doing the
same thing. This is the right choice when it is about showing the features
of karaf.
It is not good as an introduction for how to create a streamlined
application as it offers too many choices.
What I have in mind is a very opinionated and structured documentation that
concentrates on one solution for each of the parts of an application. It
also has to show how it all fits together. This is very different from the
goals of the karaf examples.
I remember well the discussion we had about the karaf examples and about
how opinionated they should be. I think you were right about being not very
opinionated for karaf examples. It fits the idea of the platform.

Hey,
thats an excellent idea.
It might even be possible to share the content with us here so we take it as "donnation" to the ASF and care about the hosting and all other issues.

Thanks Christian, I will check out your stuff later on. Ideally I would love to have a book about karaf and some osgi basics and ds... But I guess that's a lot of work.
So I think tutorials and examples are a good pragmatic compromise : )

Hi Christian,
I think Karaf examples are good enough to start. They are maybe too
simple but provide "classic" use cases (rest, service, jpa, etc).
I agree we can do more, and we are working on it. It's something I
discuss with some guys at ApacheCon last week.
I will come with concrete proposal soon ;)

Personally I don't understand why anyone would use something other than
DS, but YMMV...:-)
Re: Hello World!

The problem with OSGi docs is that most of the material is quite old.
Much of it does not apply to modern OSGi development anymore.
Another issue is that especially for dependency injection there are quite a
few alternatives. Every of these come with their own pros and cons.
As a beginner it is difficult to understand and decide how to start.
Karaf is a great way to start playing with OSGi as many things are readily
available and the shell and webconsole allow some nice insight into the
system. What karaf does not provide though is a good introduction into
OSGi. I tried to do so with my tutorials but they are more like explained
examples.
I planned to do a longer introduction around how to build a typical
application based on best practices .. but it is a lot of work and I never
really took on the task.
You might be interested in my recent talk about OSGi best practices.
Unfortunately in 30 minutes I was not able to really explain how to build
an application but maybe the example helps a bit.
https://adapt.to/2019/en/schedule/osgi-best-practices.html
The most interesting part there is maybe how to build bundles without xml
config.
The new annotations that combine requirements and configs are also very
interesting.
Both of these are not yet covered by much material on the web.
In the example there is a small application with an angular front end and a
jax-rs backend that can be easily installed in karaf.

Hi,
it was not so much karaf (I kind of liked it from the start) it was rather OSGi.
We come from spring and when I looked through all the osgi material lots of it seemed strange and confusing like Aries, Blueprint, DS, enRoute, ... .
Serge helped me a lot with sorting the things in my head and getting all clear (also with bundle vs. feature vs. feature-repo) and DS stuff and lots more.
So I think Karaf is already doing an excellent job its rather the OSGi world that is damn confusing and one thing that probably could help is a small OSGi introduction or something.
I hope that helps!

By the way, Julian, I'm curious. Why did you consider Karaf "hard for
you to adopt" ? It's to understand what we can improve (maybe
message/website, example, whatever) in the project to change that !
