Can we use Buckminster for Non OSGI projects?

Thanks,
Suman

Yes, but you'll need to add cspecs to your projects and there is no build support provided out of the box.

Thanks for response.

Does it mean, we need to manually prepares .cspec or .cspecx files?

Thanks,
Suman

Buckminster can be made to recognize your projects on one of two ways.

1. Use a buckminster.cspec file at the root of the project. This is the simplest approach.
2. Create an extension bundle for Buckminster that contains a component type/reader type combination that can make sense
of other files in the project and generate a cspec based on them. This bundle must then be installed into Buckminster.

Buckminster is bundled with extensions that makes it possible to use approach #2 for plug-ins, features, and maven
projects (contains a pom.xml).

In addition to what Thomas suggested - there is nothing preventing you
from using OSGi metadata even if you are never going to be running your
components in an OSGi container. i.e. "stick your stuff in a bundle".
