Well, don't try to tackle too many things at once... you'll need a firm understanding of OSGi and JavaFX separately from one another in order to be really effective. Maven-vs-ant shouldn't matter too much at this point, though it does seem like the maven-bundle-plugin (which uses BND) has been getting a lot of attention and features.
I found I had to be careful in bundling up the JavaFX stuff... if I took too much, the bundle would start having dependencies on more and more things, which would in turn require more bundles. You should be able to adapt the bundle-instructions I used in maven to make a similar bundle via ant or BND. I think we got it to the point where it only had JRE dependencies. We also cheated and made a bunch of things optional imports when they probably weren't entirely, like applet, javascript, and media support. It's hard to debug from here as to your problem with bundle 3 (is that your JFX code, or the runtime?). Also, if you bundle up javafx, you shouldn't need framework_systempackages_extra or the jfx stuff in your startup classpath. Pat. -- Defy mediocrity. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
