Hi, looking at our parent pom, we have there some really really old dependencies. The reasoning behind this is that we usually try to use the minimal possible version for a dependency. However, for some things newer versions are out for some time and are the de-facto standard.
I think we should 1. Update the default java version for modules from 6 to 7 2. Update the dependency to OSGi Core from 4.1.0 to R6 3. Update the dependency to OSGi Cmpn from 4.1.0 to R6 4. Update the servlet api dependency from 2.4 to 3.0.1 or even 3.1.0 (Unfortunately this will break modules as the mvn coordinates have changed, but we can easily update those if we update the parent pom in those modules) 5. Update the jcr dependency to 2.0 6. Update the slf4j-api dependency from 1.5.2 to 1.7.6 7. Add the dependency for the OSGi annotations (@Version, @ProviderType, @ConsumerType) 8. Add the dependency for the OSGi DS and metatype annotations 9. Add the bnd maven plugin 3.2.0 (see https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/tree/master/maven/bnd-maven-plugin) This plugin is newer than the maven bundle plugin and closer to bnd change. So we can start using this in our modules. 10. Maybe change the required maven version from 3.0.5 to 3.3.x WDYT? Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler Adobe Research Switzerland cziege...@apache.org
