Yeah - Sorry about that EMF thing man, however, I think Tuscany has a
help clinic for EMF addicts.
If that does not work Soak [EMAIL PROTECTED] in hot oil for 1 hour.
Who says headlines are bad????
OK - I'm starting work on the "Pure" RPM installer for ADS now, and
somewhere along the way,
when I start seeing the whole picture end to end (in 2020), I'll add a
template for OSGi manifest
generation and some mojo insertion lines. Then we can just tweak it out.
Ciao,

Hey John,
I got the RPM stuff uploaded and hope to have a users guide soon,
after I clean up and
simplify a little. BTW - Thanks for calling it imaginative and
bold. I look at that once in a while
when I need to get pumped up. Usually I get "Less than useless,
...you've completely lost it?,... and
they sell brains and Walmart you know?", so that definitely helps
balance things out :-).
Caveat - While a requested preventative ui feature in some
environments, the "Burning Oil on [EMAIL PROTECTED]" experience is most
typically encountered in the process of attempting to preform some
kind of imaginative and bold act. ;-)
I posted on the felix development list regarding the manifests
insertion, but I'm still waiting on a reply.
I'll probably just run the felix plugin, see what it does, and create
another repository processing equivalent.
That way it can be run before the RPM one is run, so that the jars
are OSGi compliant.
They may be OSGi compliant, but I don't expect the felix plugin
defaults will be enough to generate OSGi jars for ADS that will work.
I think the maven repository needs some scrubbing first though. So
many things to do! Back to work.
Yeeehah!
Have a terrific weekend,
- Ole
You too.
BTW - I am blaming you for getting me interested in EMF.
kind regards,
John

Hi Ole,
Must say that your RPM effort is both imaginative and bold so I am
looking forward to seeing how it develops! Your right - for OSGi,
our jars and our dependency jars would require OSGi metadata, but I
think the idea of the RPMFactory adding that OSGi metadata might be
'A Bridge too Far'.
When the time comes for it I think ADS following the best practices
pioneered at Felix and using the osgi plugin would be the safest bet.
BTW - The maven team is considering to dual purpose maven repos for
both development and OSGi application install/upgrades. This will
allow a yum like install/upgrade service for OSGi applications via
the Felix Bundle Repository commands.
kind regards,
John

John,
You would probably be the one to answer this.
The RPM Factory will create RPMs out of all the maven repository jars.
I think for OSGi, those jars need to have a manifests added as well.
Would it be helpful if the RPMFactory generated the manifests and
added them
to the jars prior to packaging them?
Cheers,
