Maven bundle plugin equivalent for -metatypes
Hello,
I am fighting with getting my portlets to run with Liferay 7 and the whole OSGi environment.
So far the Felix Maven plugin was a big help because I don't have to manage all the JAR file dependencies in my pom.xml *andÜ the bnd.bnd file that is required by the biz.aQute.bnd plugins.
However, one thing I can't get working with the maven plugin is the equivalent of
-metatype: *
in the bnd.bnd file which is required for the configuration stuff to work in Liferay 7.
I tried
<_metatypeannotations>*</_metatypeannotations>
and
<_metatypes>*</_metatypes>
in the <instructions> section of the Maven plugin, but that didn't work. When using biz.aQute.bnd plugin the corresponding directive scans the classes for meta annotations and generates a corresponding XML file in OSGI_INF/metatype/ inside the jar file.
How can I get that to work with the Felix Maven plugin?
Thanks
Thomas

I feel stupid now :(
Of course that was it. Sorry for the noise.

Hi Thomas,
In my experience, you can use all "-*" instructions in maven-bundle-plugin
if you replace the colon with an underscore.
You wrote that you tried <_metatype*s*>*</_metatype*s*>. Why is the "s" in
the end? Try <_metatype>*</_metatype>.
Kind regards,
Balazs

I see, fair enough. Then you do need a bnd.bnd file with -includeresource when you really need to embed a dependent library… though I still assert that this is rarely necessary.

Import-Package.

But the jars are not stored in src/main/resources
They simply declared as dependencies in the Maven pom.

I need this because my portlets need those jar files.
I have no idea how else I could use those libraries in my portlets if I do not include them in the bundle.
If I don't include them in the bundle, Liferay (Felix?) won't even load the portlet.

Actually any JARs that you place under src/main/resources will be included in the bundle — just as in any other Maven project.
But I’m wondering why you need to do this? Embedding JAR files should be a rarely used technique, for example when wrapping an external non-OSGi dependency for use in OSGi. If lots of your bundles need to embed JARs then something very strange is going on.

Neil

Thanks for the quick reply, however I could not include any needed jar files in the bundle without using "-includeresource:" in the bnd file for all dependent jar files.

Just a quick note: the bnd.bnd file is NOT required by the biz.aQute.bnd plugins. It is only used when you need to do something special in a bundle definition like a custom annotation header.
Sorry I can’t answer your question about metatype with the maven-bundle-plugin.
