Re: How to define those bundlized dependencies which would be published by Geronimo

[David Jencks]

I have no problem with the idea of including dependencies on  
bundleized versions of the original dependencies, this seems to me  
like a good convention.

However I don't see any use in the exclusions  you show, since the  
original non-bundleized jar is a dependency of the new bundle, and  
needs to be excluded whenever we use it.  Excluding the original jar  
will also exclude all of its dependencies, so the exclusions you show  
won't have any effect.

I think we need to work hard to push the bundleization back into the  
originating project and to modify the felix bundle plugin so the  
original non-bundle doesn't end up as a transitive dependency of the  
bundle.

Hi,
    In the plugin enabling work, we always need to exclude those non- 
bundle depdencies, and add the bundlized ones somewhere.
    But for those bundlized 3rd componenets which would publish by  
Geronimo in the folder framework/bundles, I think we may have two  
ways, take org.apache.geronimo.bundles/woden-impl-dom as an example,  
currently, the dependency setting in the pom file is like :
   <dependency>
            <groupId>${pkgGroupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>${pkgArtifactId}</artifactId>
            <version>${pkgVersion}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.apache.ant</groupId>
                    <artifactId>ant</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
                    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
                    <artifactId>xmlParserAPIs</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>wsdl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>wsdl</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

  All the non-bundlized components are excluded, so when using this  
bundle, we may also need to add the bundlized wsdl there.
  While it seems that we could also add the bundlized wsdl in the  
pom file of org.apache.geronimo.bundles/woden-impl-dom. It may be  
like :

  <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>${pkgGroupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>${pkgArtifactId}</artifactId>
            <version>${pkgVersion}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.apache.ant</groupId>
                    <artifactId>ant</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
                    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
                    <artifactId>xmlParserAPIs</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>wsdl</groupId>
                    <artifactId>wsdl</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles.wsdl4j</ 
artifactId>
            <version>1.6.2_2</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

   Then, when we use it, we may not need to add bundlized wsdl  
there, I think car-maven-plugin could find it. I am thinking that we  
might need a uniform way to do it, any comment ?
