About modules like asm-3.1?

[galaxy <ti...@gmail.com>]

Hi ,
I noticed that there are several modules different from others like
asm-3.1,bcel-5.2.
Unlike other modules in the boot directory , they are included in the
folders , and some with META-INF folder . Why are they so special ?
Thanks !!

They are needed for the JRE as an internal dependency of some parts of
the class library.

As Harmony doesn't explicitly abide by the OSGi standard at the
moment, this isn't necessary. However, I don't think it's explicitly
required that than OSGi bundle be archived into a single JAR, which in
this case would be a JAR with a JAR in it. I'm not an OSGi expert
though, so I'm not sure this is the case. I'd have to dig into the
specification to know for sure.

So they are needed ,but out of jre ,right?
But since these are folders , not jar files , I think it will be necessary
to make them jar files for them to be used as osgi bundles ,

That folder setup is a mechanism for defining an OSGi bundle that
contains a JAR within it. These folder are all existing, external
libraries, which Harmony wraps an OSGi bundle around for deployment.
