Help needed to use maven to build an osgi application
Hi all,
I am trying to build an osgi application with Maven. I am using
maven-bundle-plugin and maven-scr-plugin to create the bundles. I have all
the bundles created in 3 separate directories in the final distribution.
What I want is to run all the osgi bundles in an OSGi container with a
single command (may be using a shell script). I believe I have to create a
config.ini file listing all the bundles which need to be run in the
container. Is there a way to generate this file from Maven at compilation
time? Or is there a better way to create the project without manually
creating the configuration files? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
PJ

Then you can also just use the bnd export function, which is also
supported by bndtools.

Hi Chetan,
Thanks a lot for the response. What I want is to package all the bundles in
some structure in the final distribution so that when the user extracts it
and run say *sh run.sh* all the bundles will be installed into an osgi
runtime. The usage of OSGi should be hidden from the user. I believe option
3 will be helpful. Thanks again,
PJ

There are multiple options to achieve this.
1. Pax Runner - Use Pax Runner [1] if you want your bare bone OSGi
container. See [2] for some example. It allows you to package and launch an
OSGi container
2. Use existing applications like Apache Karaf to package your bundle
3. Use maven-launchpad-plugin [3] to package the bundle as part of single
executable jar. This is currenly limited to supporting Felix and would not
work for Equinox. See [4] as one example of this plugin in action which
packages a bunch of bundles as part of an example application
