extend org.apache.felix.karaf.testing.Helper to emit a karaf-specific execution
environment file for pax-runner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-2049
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2049
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Karaf
Affects Versions: karaf-1.4.0
Reporter: Eoghan Glynn
Fix For: karaf-1.4.0
I've been looking into rebasing an existing test on the new
org.apache.felix.karaf.testing.Helper class, but I don't think it goes quite
far enough in imposing the karaf runtime environment on pax-runner.
Specifically, just pulling in the config.properties settings related to the
system.packages doesn't stop pax-runner generating a system packages list with
its own notion of what packages are appropriate for the current JRE version.
So for Java6 we end up with problematic entries like javax.xml.ws*,
javax.activation etc. which cause trouble for any bundles doing
version-constrained imports of these packages (because equinox assigns "0.0" as
the version for system packages).
What's needed, I think, is for the Helper to generate a pax-runner execution
environment file, named say
target/paxrunner/platform/ee/karaf/jre-1.{5|6}.profile, and containing the
correct set of system packages for karaf (i.e. the
org.osgi.framework.system.packages property read from the config.properties
with the jre-1.{5|6} variable substituted in). The Helper should also set
rawPaxRunnerOption("--ee",
"file://./target/paxrunner/platform/ee/karaf/jre-1.{5|6}.profile") as one of
the default options.
Feedback welcome if I'm on the wrong track with this. But if there are no
objections, I'll go ahead and code this up & then submit a patch.
