---------------------------------------
Summary: Remove Application module from the main repository
Key: ARIES-2177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-2177
Project: Aries
Issue Type: Task
Components: Application, Samples, Subsystem, Util
Reporter: Dominik Przybysz
Assignee: Dominik Przybysz
Remove the Application module from the monorepo for the following reasons:
# There is an official OSGi specification for the concept of Application (in
https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.application.html).
Our current Application module does not adhere to this specification, which may
lead to confusion for developers expecting standards-compliant behavior.
# The module has a dependency on Eclipse Equinox packages that were removed a
long time ago, making it not-upgradeable and problematic to maintain. More
details can be found in the issue tracker:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345790 .
# The submodules within Application were last released in 2012, which strongly
suggests they are no longer actively used or maintained -
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.aries.application?sort=newest .
Other modules are affected and should stop using application artifacts before:
- samples
- subsystem
- util
