Yet! :) but it's not too far away I would think.
Tim,
You're right about live code deployment being possible with Eclipse +
Bndtools + Gradle. I should have qualified my statement: I'm using a build
setup that is a standard Gradle project structure (non-Bnd workspace),
because I didn't want to have to adopt the Bnd workspace model. Over on the

Interestingly this is the opposite conclusion that most people come to. Until
recently Bndtools did not support Maven at all and was 100% Gradle. There has
been a lot of work to bring Maven support up to the same level as Gradle by the
team, but I don’t think that many of us would say that Maven
A brief follow-up to this thread, after another month into my project:
I have found that although Gradle will work fine as a build tool for OSGi,
it does seem that Maven is better supported for OSGi development in
Eclipse. For example, the Eclipse bndtools plugins support live code
deployment if y
Thanks to all for the helpful responses. I was concerned about using Gradle
as a build tool because so many OSGi resources I was finding seemed to be
using Maven, and the change of enRoute docs from Gradle to Maven seemed to
communicate a move away from Gradle as a "preferred" build tool. But given
Bnd supports Gradle and Maven. So you can use Gradle if you prefer (I personally prefer Gradle.)
OSGi enRoute is now using Maven since it is, by far, much more popular than Gradle. But a Gradle variant of enRoute could also be made. But it is more work to dual maintain the variants. So with limit
Hi Stephen,
1. Maven is very popular. So using maven makes it easy for a large
audience to adopt OSGi. When there is an integration for the right build
tool, people tend to rather try things out, then if they have to "learn"
a new build tool.
2. You can also use gradle. We use only gradle to
Hey Stephen,
Others can correct my points but from what I remember initial setup was
based on gradle due to its flexibility.
Since many things get promoted via Maven Central and Maven is still far
more popular for traditional development [1], obvious choice was to
introduce better support for Maven
I'm new to OSGi and am starting a project. I found the enRoute material and
noticed that the enRoute tutorials apparently at one time utilized Gradle
as the build tool, but are now using Maven.
I'm more familiar with Gradle and have worked out how to use Gradle to do
what I need for the project, b
