Another possibility would be to deliver OSGi feature files via Puppet to the deploy directory of your container. The feature files can reference bundles stored in a central Maven repository (just an Apache container - a Nexus isn't necessary) via the mvn protocol (ref: pax url handlers).
The net result here is that a very small XML file is sent to your servers and the container then reaches back to a central repository to pull bytecode. -c On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 6:01 AM, Christopher Brind <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes, Sigil is a development/build tool.
