It's not very complicated what we discussed. Essentially it's
artifactId =
symbolic bundle id because you'll never be able to derive the
artifactId/groupId pair from a symbolic bundle id because you
don't know
where to split it. So avoid the complication of the mapping. The
groupId
would be use for organization in the repository but not important
in the
creation of the symbolic bundle id. What this means is that you
could
directly retrieve a bundle into a running osgi container without
trying to
synthesize the bundle id which is a good thing.
Next question then,
when can we seed a maven repository with bundles?
Officially? When we agree. This was a casual discussion we had at
EclipseCon. Probably wouldn't take long. I imagine most issues could
be hashed out in a week and then we could try it in a test
repository on central.
Sounds like a good approach to me. Perfect timing with the Ganymede
release coming up soon - we could get that release in there, and get
it right from there on.
So far the proposal seems to be:
- use artifact IDs that most match the final identifiers
- discourage the use of http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse/ and http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/
with the old artifact IDs
The questions I have so far:
Are the POMs generated by today's eclipse:to-maven goal the right ones
to be using? I'm particularly wondering about the version range issue
Vincent raised.
What is the policy on bundle-ized versions of existing artifacts? The
above sounds good for org.eclipse itself, but having stuff like this
is worrying: http://repo1.maven.org/eclipse/org/apache/ant/org.apache.ant/1.6.5/
Worrying because we start duplicating an awful lot of stuff. Is it
possible we could place the OSGi manifest in the repository alongside
main ant and the build process could merge them? And for artifacts
that don't have them, we can generate default OSGi manifest
information if incorporated into such a build?
Cheers,
Brett
