Ok, so I managed to get this working using JDT (as recommended & with a little help from some pax/ops4j tools, thanks Achim for the suggestion).
However, I'm left with the notion that there is seems to be an apparent "understanding" that javax.tools doesn't play nice with OSGi and that the general recommendation is "use jdt instead of javax.tools in OSGi". Doesn't this sound like it might be a fairly restrictive limitation considering the evolution of the Java platform toward more dynamic language design? I would think that javax.tools might play a pretty large role in this. Isn't there something the OSGi community should be doing about this? a) write a spec to add support for it b) petition the current spec to allow for injectable bytecode resolution, thus enabling OSGi to be supported c) something else... So, I'm no longer asking from the point of view "How to I solve my immediate problem?" (Done!) Now I'm asking more as "I don't think the current recommendation is actually the right solution. (C|Sh)ouldn't we make it better?" Something like (I'm not really sure if this is possible or if there is a deeper limitation in javax.tools): javax.tools.JavaCompiler javaCompiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler(); StandardJavaFileManager standardFileManager = javaCompiler .getStandardFileManager(...); JavaBundleManager javaBundleManager = bundle.adapt(JavaBundleManager.class); javaBundleManager.someMergeOperationOrWhatever(standardFileManager); javax.tools.JavaCompiler.CompilationTask ct = javaCompiler.getTask(.., javaBundleManager, ..); Sincerely, - Ray On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Thomas Watson <[email protected]> wrote: > We also do a similar thing in Equinox for jsp support. > > Tom > > > > [image: Inactive hide details for Felix Meschberger ---09/14/2012 06:37:05 > AM---Hi, Am 13.09.2012 um 17:01 schrieb Raymond Auge:]Felix Meschberger > ---09/14/2012 06:37:05 AM---Hi, Am 13.09.2012 um 17:01 schrieb Raymond Auge: > > > > From: > > > Felix Meschberger <[email protected]> > > To: > > > OSGi Developer Mail List <[email protected]>, > > > Date: > > > 09/14/2012 06:37 AM > > Subject: > > > Re: [osgi-dev] best way to generate a classpath for > javax.tools.JavaCompiler > ------------------------------ > > > > Hi, > > Am 13.09.2012 um 17:01 schrieb Raymond Auge: > > No, in fact the root problem is trying to do is use jasper to compile > JSPs in OSGi. > > > In the Apache Sling project we embed the Eclipse compiler for compiling > JSPs since this is much easier to embedd and use in the OSGi context. > Particularly with respect to the class path: the compiler just asks a > helper class for classes and doesn't care, where these come from. > > Regards > Felix > > > However, I seem to have once again missed some facts about how this is > setup, so ignore this for now.
