[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-184) Add OSGi Manifest headers to the libthrift java library to be able to use Thrift in the OSGi runtime

["Jake Farrell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-184?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13017186#comment-13017186 ] 

Jake Farrell commented on THRIFT-184:
-------------------------------------

Is bnd necessary here since there is no activator and the goal is to make org.apache.thrift available to other bundles. Putting the following in the manifest when generating the libthrift.jar in the dist goal should solve this problem. 

{code:xml} 
<manifest>
  <attribute name="Implementation-Version" value="${version}"/>
  <!-- Added for OSGI support -->
  <attribute name="Bundle-Name" value="Apache Thrift"/>
  <attribute name="Bundle-Description" value="Apache Thrift library"/>    
  <attribute name="Bundle-SymbolicName" value="${thrift.groupid}"/>	
  <attribute name="Bundle-ManifestVersion" value="2"/>
  <attribute name="Bundle-Version" value="${version}"/>
  <attribute name="Export-Package" value="${thrift.groupid}"/>
  <attribute name="Import-Package" value="*"/>
</manifest>
{code}

Simple test showed this modified manifest jar loaded in felix. 
START LEVEL 1
ID|State      |Level|Name
30|Installed  |    1|Apache Thrift (0.7.0)


Siamak, if you could please test this in your setup to verify it works for what you are trying to accomplish i'll generate a patch and attach it.

> To be able to use Thrift in the OSGi runtime (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSGi), some additional Manifest entries are needed. The bnd-tool (see http://www.aqute.biz/Code/Bnd) creates this entries automatically.
