First of all, I just removed the dependency on "org.eclipse.core.adaptor" by
using the org.osgi.framework.launch API introduced in Equinox 3.5 (as well as
Felix 1.8.0).
Back to the original issue, do you plan to deploy the equinox jars into Felix
as well? If not, then the optional import to org.eclipse.core.adaptor won't be
harmful as it is only used by the test case which is not packaged in the
bundle. Am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Raymond

Subject: Re: Deploy Tuscany distribution from OBR Repository
With regards to tuscany-extensibility-equinox dependency on
org.eclipse.core.adaptor, there is a problem with the fact that the bundle also
imports org.osgi.framework, and this is provided also by the same bundle that
provides org.eclipse.core.adaptor.
Taking into account that Felix framework also provides org.osgi.framework. When
using OBR there could be a conflict among the system bundle currently in
operation (Felix) and the deployable ones that has a dependency to Equinox
framework (package org.eclipse.core.adaptor). So when the dependency tree is
built, a conflict appears (in the case that org.osgi.framework has the same
version in Felix and Equinox).
Has you considered this scenario? I think it represents a potential conflict in
order to the portabiltiy of Tuscany in different OSGi framework.
If you have any question or suggestion I would try to explain it in another way.

At this moment, the OSGi integration with Tuscany 2.x has only been tested
with Equinox. It shouldn't be too difficult to bring them up with Felix. If you
would like to try, I would be happy to help you whenever you run into issues.
The key difference between Felix and Equinox is the how the frameworks are
bootstrapped. We can simply add a module such as node-launcher-osgi-felix to
cover that. I'm also considering to use the latest framework launch APIs to
unify both.
tuscany-extensibility-equinox has an option dependency on
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor for JUNIT testing. It should be fine for Felix.
I suggest that you start with the bundles in the distribution. Most of them
should be agnostic to the OSGi runtime.
The OBR idea is interesting. Equinox also has the p2 infrastructure. It seems
that additional metadata are needed to help the repo manage the Tuscany
bundles.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Deploy Tuscany distribution from OBR Repository
We are considering to deploy Tuscany over Felix 1.8.0 OSGi framework. Because
they have developed the OBR repository. We have found a strong dependency in
some Tuscany bundles with Equinox OSGi framework. For instance
tuscany-extensibility-equinox-2.0-M3.jar bundle has in its MANIFEST.MF an
Import-Package clause that includes the package
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor. The same happens with bundles:
tuscany-node-launcher-equinox-2.0-M3.jar and spring-core-2.5.5.jar.
This implies in my opinion that Tuscany will only works fine if it is
deployed in Equinox OSGi framework. Are you considering that Tuscany will be
deployed over other OSGi framework implementations like Felix.

Ok, and let us know if you need more info. It'll be really interesting
to hear how you get on.
