Hi, I've created issue [1] with missing exported packages in osgi for zookeeper 3.4.10. Then I started to prepare maven OSGi packaging [2] for the higher version of ZooKeeper (in the PR for issue).
I've tried to implement OSGi packaging with the low impact. So I've tried to create OSGi bundles from Zookeeper-server and from zookeeper-jute modules. But there is a *problem* for this solution: - zookeeper-jute has package 'org.apache.zookeeper.data', it has to be exported for zookeeper-server to use it - zookeeper-server contains also package 'org.apache.zookeeper.data', which has to be exported, because it is used from packages like org.apache.zookeeper, which are exported -> *bundles can not be deployed into osgi as two libraries are exporting the same packages* Solution: 1. best solution is to change name of one of these packages (probably in module zookeeper-jute - which us used only by zookeeper) - but question is, whether this change is feasible 2. only other solution is to create only one bundle (e.g. zookeeper-osgi), which will contain both libraries together and will expose their both packages at the same time (similar approach is used in e.g. hibernate-osgi, httpcore-osgi, httpclient-osgi) Solution *#1* is a better solution, I would like to ask for your opinion about feasibility of renaming zookeeper-jute generated packages to not collide with zookeeper-server. (As these packages are to be used only for zookeeper, it shouldn't cause any harm) If #1 is not acceptable, then we can go with #2. But I highly suggest to consider renaming of zookeeper-jute's packages in the nearest point in the future as possible and return to solution #1.
