Guillaume Nodet commented on FELIX-2885:
----------------------------------------
So the overall idea is to have the bundle being self-described in terms of
capabilities and requirements. The manifest already contains all of the
information at the module layer level (package imports, required bundles,
etc...), but is missing the service level. Tools such as OBR are able to
recreate the OBR Resource based on the manifest (see the createResource methods
on
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/felix/trunk/bundlerepository/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/bundlerepository/DataModelHelper.java?view=markup),
and that's what is actually used by the maven bundle plugin when generating
the obr xml description.
About those headers, I think the manifest is in 90% of the bundles quite
unreadable for humans, mostly due to the use constraints which can generate
very long headers, I'm not really convinced that adding this addition
information will make it less usable. In that case, I've made sure to
generate the exact same information in the obr xml, but we could trim it down a
bit by not adding the service.description and other fields. On the fact that
those headers are deprecated, I that's really a problem, I can change the
header names, but I don't think the names are a real problem here, are they ?
Anyway, my use case is to use OBR to compute a transitive closure of the
dependencies for a given bundle, but I don't necessarily have an real xml obr
describing all the bundles. Most of the time, bundles are self-describing, but
the ConfigAdmin isn't.
