mvn == disaster
It's time to think outside the box;
Let me introduce "source bundles"...
I have enormous philosophy behind this, but I won't go there; I'll only "share"
a demonstration and the eclipse workspace thereof;
I "invented" source bundles... Simply put, it's a bundle without dot.class
files... Instead, you put in dot.java files (and, the mechanics can be extended to any
language, including scripted languages)...
I took all the felix framework bundles, minus the "system bundle", off the trunk (and old trunk
from last October -- it's only a demo, chill), and converted them to source bundles, outfitted the system
bundle with a "builder" (takes a source bundle, looks at the manifest, and compiles the dot.java
files and rezips the resultant "executable bundle");
Unfortunately, due to mods to the system bundle and other various "spec" mods, I never
gained traction; My true recourse is to simply ignore the detractors and move ahead with a
standalone "builder", but that's politics and I won't go there either;
The demo only works on windoze at the moment due to an issue with locating the
"felix.jar" for compilation purposes (I have a hack for the mac, but ultimately
I need a registration configuration entry)...
Anyways, without further ado...

eclipse workspace: http://www.box.net/shared/914tdoxcfp
This has pretty much been put to bed since last November (I've been busy with
real work... at least the kind that pays bills); It was a few nights and
weekends...
Cheers, Craig Phillips, Praxis Engineering
PS - If you want to take this off line, I'd be happy... My intent was to give it to the community
and let the community run with it; Although, due to politics, I never made an
"introduction", but maybe it's time... Enough is enough; I never need mvn for anything; I
have a src-bnd and I let the framework do the "build";

Subject: Re: trunk/webconsole fails to build
Obviously, I am not tracking all the conversation on this topic. I
noticed there was a SNAPSHOT dependency introduced from webconsole to
obr and that required me to do a build that includes at least those two
modules. Since I did not carefully see what other modules have SNAPSHOT
dependency among themselves, I decided to do a full build. You seem to
be saying that you have fixed the SNAPSHOT dependency issue in
webconsole, so that's great. Let me update webconsole to explore its
dependency on obr bundle before unnecessarily taking your and other's time.
About build failure, it will be definitely good if CI server sends build
failure message to dev@ alerting people.
Thanks,
Sahoo

Hi,
To build just the web console, you can update your webconsole folder and
just run the build in there. This should do the trick.
[running the full Felix trunk build just to get the web console sounds
like massive overkill to me]

Can I update my top level Felix workspace and get the build to complete?
Some tests seemed to fail for me last time, so I am little unsure at
If you do a full build, the build will abort once a sub-project (module)
fails to build. This is probably another intereting point to know which
project actually failed to build.

this point. I want to build a web console with OBR plugin.

Hi,
I have fixed a number of issues around the bundle repository support
today. Thus the web console should build again.
Thanks for reporting.

Hi,
After updating my workspace to svn rev#925708, I am doing a clean
build and I see compilation failures like this:
/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/webconsole/internal/core/BundlesServlet.java:[904,54]
cannot find symbol
[exec] symbol: class R4Package
/
I don't see any R4Package.class in
bundlerepository-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, that's recently built.
Is there a continuous integration job running for trunk? Can I see its
log?
Thanks,
Sahoo
