I'm sure there are several people here using OSGi + Maven (me for one) however, this doesn't sound like a general OSGi issue as such, because OSGi doesn't actually mandate a specific layout of bundles - instead your layout is specific to Equinox, the OSGi framework used by Eclipse (and therefore BIRT which is an Eclipse project) you could perhaps look into using the headless Eclipse/PDE build, but this can be painful to use - IMHO the best (and simplest) option is just use the assembly plugin to arrange everything What about the plugin I found: > http://mvn-dp-plugin.sourceforge.net/site/plugin-info.html > > Could that do the trick? > well that plugin generates standard OSGi deployment packages: http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v41/org/osgi/service/deploymentadmin/DeploymentPackage.html which are a way to atomically install and update a collection of bundles, managed by the deployment admin bundle (so you need this installed) - while you can use this to deploy apps onto a framework it won't help you do the initial bootstrapping, so you'd still need to mimic some of the Equinox layout another option might be to use pax-runner to generate the Equinox layout: http://issues.ops4j.org/browse/PAXRUNNER-177 http://paxrunner.ops4j.org/space/Pax+Runner but I still think using the assembly plugin would be simplest approach initially Thanks, > > Peter > -- Cheers, Stuart
