Hi Felix, Thank you for answering so quickly!
Okay I am not sure I understand everything but it seems you are right about JDOM causing strange imports. What do you mean by saying "If you don't want to embed libraries"? When a bundle uses some libs is there an other way than embedding either the jar or the .class into the bundle? Yersterday I finally managed to make things work by adding every JDOM components as a dependency in the Maven project (see below). And also by configuring the maven plugin like this: <Export-Package>fr.numvision.*,org.apache.*,com.jcraft.*,org.jdom,org.jdom.*,org.snipecode.*,org.jaxen,org.jaxen.*</Export-Package> > <Private-Package></Private-Package> > <Import-Package>*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package> > Doing this, the Import-Package still have all the javax.* in it but doesn't try to resolve it. I think this solution is quite "dirty". Also I don't like the way I have to tell the plugin what Maven already nows (the list of the dependencies...). To resume, I would like to be able to say "1)Hello Maven, this is my Project. 2)Hello Bundle-Plugin, just embed everything you need into the bundle, and make the main package fr.numvision.* available for another bundle". So for me the plugin part should looks like that: > <Export-Package>fr.numvision.*</Export-Package> > <Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime</Embed-Dependency> > What does "inlining" means (sorry I am really new to this...)? I am currently reading the OSGI reference at http://www.osgi.org/download/r4v42/r4.core.pdf (but it is quite a work for "just" building a bundle!) Thanks for your help! *The dependencies part of my POM:* <dependency> <groupId>org.jdom</groupId> <artifactId>jdom</artifactId> <version>1.1</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.jdom</groupId> <artifactId>jaxen-core</artifactId> <version>1.0-FCS</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.jdom</groupId> <artifactId>jaxen-jdom</artifactId> <version>1.0-FCS</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.jdom</groupId> <artifactId>saxpath</artifactId> <version>1.0-FCS</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> 2010/1/13 Felix Meschberger <[email protected]> > Hi, > > This sounds like a problem of stuff in the root package of one of the > libraries -- JDOM is known for having 3 (IIRC) classes in the root > package posing all sorts of problems because the root package cannot be > imported (and the root package should not be used anyways). > > So the only solution, I see here is to prevent this problem is embedded > JDOM as a library as in: > > <Embed-Dependencies> > jdom > </Embed-Dependencies> > > If you don't want to embed libraries, I suggest you control inlining by > limiting it to the org.jdom package, as in: > > <Embed-Dependencies> > jdom;inline=org/jdom/** > </Embed-Dependencies> > > Hope this helps. > > Regards > Felix > > >
