Would that be portable? Also, how would it distinguish the Bundle-Classpath of "my" bundles (the ones I could build containing embedded Pack200 JARs) from other bundles using Bundle-Classpath (i don't want to break default behavior)?
My main bundle loading is done using JARs on the FileSystem by the host application that embeds Felix (similar functionality, but not identical to FileInstall) calling the BundleContext.install and Bundle.update methods, along with PackageAdmin (haven't upgraded to Felix 4.x yet, still using v3.x). -- Christopher On Friday, 4 May 2012, Karl Pauls wrote: > You could create your own urlhandlerservice that would (if you install > bundles with it given prefix) do the manipulation when a bundle is > installed... > > regards, > > Karl > > On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 9:01 AM, Christopher BROWN > <br...@reflexe.fr<javascript:;>> > wrote: > > I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that classes loaded via Bundle-Classpath > > have a classloader that enables things like classloader.getResource() > that > > looks inside the "bundled" JAR and not in the "host" JAR (so different > from > > a fragment bundle), so that I don't need to merge and avoid conflicts > > between my "host" bundle's MANIFEST.MF and other resources and those of > the > > embedded JAR. > > > > I could merge the JARs, but then again I don't know if it's always > allowed > > from a licensing viewpoint (it would be a derivative works, as opposed to > > simply embedding and compressing... but I am not a lawyer).
