Hi,
um...
sometimes (I say "sometimes" because I really dont know what the
cause is), a bundle, that I create with the maven-bundle-plugin,
misses, once deployed, its own packages.
e.g. I have a package "org.myapp.meta" in my maven project.
I configure the maven bundle plugin (in the same project) the
following way:
...
<Import-Package>org.myapp.*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>
<Export-Package>org.myapp.*</Export-Package>
...
when I deploy it in equinox, it gives me an error such as:
Missing imported package org.myapp.meta
I dont get this, since the jar file contains the package.
Yet, I have to admit that the bundle has other dependencies which are
not (yet) satifsfied.
e.g. the org.myapp.meta package uses "org.openrdf.elmo" which is in a
bundle not yet deployed (since I have to create it first).
my question:
Is it a maven bundle plugin configuration issue or is it simply
Equinox that refuses to import packages which have unresolved
references?
Just a guess, since I don't really know how Equinox' resolver works,
but it could be that it is trying to resolve the bundle to its own
export since you import/export the same package, but it is unable to
do so because it cannot resolve the bundle itself, so the error
message says it cannot find the package because it cannot resolve the
provider of the package, which just happens to be the same bundle in
this case. This could potentially happen, depending on how Equinox
handles bundles importing their own packages.
One question for you, why are you importing the same packages you are
exporting with an "optional" directive. Seems kind of strange and it
might be meaningless since the bundle will always have access to the
package since it exports them.
Also, shouldn't this be on the Felix users mailing list?
thanks for the quick reply. I never know where to post
maven-bundle-plugin issues, since I see lots of them being posted to
this list as well.
Anyway, I hope that creating the other bundles solves my problem and
that equinox is simply not resolving those bundles.
cheers,
