Re: Moving the Sling Management Console to Apache Felix
[Crossposting to Sling and Felix] Hi all, After some distraction and the waiting periods for votes and IP Clearance, I now have moved the console over to the Apache Felix project as org.apache.felix org.apache.felix.webconsole 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT The source is located at [1] and I also have deployed a first SNAPSHOT build to the Apache Snapshot Repository. To get the thing running, you mainly need an OSGi HttpService implementation active (like the Felix http.service or the OPS4J Pax Web Service) and install the web console as a bundle. By default the console is accessible at the URL path "/system/console" and requires user id and password (both being "admin" by default). All settings are configurable through the Configuration Admin Service with PID org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager. Have fun !

I quickly talked to Aaron about this issue. He said, that it should probably not be an issue to move this code but he would confirm with Noel of the IPMC and come back to me. Point is, if we can show to the IPMC that both communities are interested in this move - shown by a vote in both places - this should not be a problem to the IPMC. Regards Felix

You're probably right - I would indicate in the vote request that most of the console code has been contributed by Felix Meschberger, and some of it by you and me, mentioning that we're all experienced committers. That should make it easier for people to accept the move, even though in theory you're right that this bypasses the incubator process. -Bertrand
Re: Moving the Sling Management Console to Apache Felix
Great, so I guess the final thing we have to do is to vote in both projects if each project agrees to moving the stuff. Not sure, but as Sling is in the Incubator we might need a vote from the Incubator PMC - otherwise we would bypass the incubator process :) Carsten Marcel Offermans wrote: On Apr 10, 2008, at 10:19 , Felix Meschberger wrote: I would like to hear the oppinions of the two communities with respect to moving the current "Sling Management Console" to Apache Felix.

Moving the Sling Management Console to Apache Felix
[Crossposting to Sling and Felix] Hi all, In the Apache Sling project we have a nice little web based management console for OSGi framework. This console currently has the following features: * Manage Bundles: list, install, start, stop, uninstall, refresh packages * Managed DS Components: list, enable, disable (requires Apache Felix SCR) * Configuration Admin: Simple GUI to edit configuration * Configuration Status: List installed bundles, framework/system properties, active services, available DS components, show configurations * OBR: List contents, install from OBR * System Information: Setting system startlevel, set default bundle start level, general VM information This console is not really related to the Sling project and may be of use to about any OSGi based application to easily manage the framework instance. As such we (Richard Hall, Marcel Offermans, Karl Pauls, Carsten Ziegeler and me) discussed that it might be a good idea to move this console to the Apache Felix project. In fact, people interested in such a console would certainly go to Apache Felix and not to Apache Sling in search for such a console. I would like to hear the oppinions of the two communities with respect to moving the current "Sling Management Console" to Apache Felix. Thanks. Regards Felix
