[ebr-dev] Question on creating EBR for MongoDB 3.x java driver

[Derek Lai <laid@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

In OpenText (Actuate), we plan to enhance the BIRT ODA MongoDB driver to support MongoDB 3.x server.   Currently the ODA driver's support is at 2.x level.

 

Since the ODA driver currently depends on the mongodb plugin at org.eclipse.orbit.mongodb, we plan to update the mongo java driver used in the org.eclipse.orbit.mongodb as well.  However, it looks like the new / preferred approach is to create an EBR bundle for MongoDB.

 

After discussing with Gunnar, my understanding is that the naming of the EBR plugin will not be "org.eclipse.orbit.mongodb" but will be "com.mongodb" (most likely "com.mongodb.ebr"?) since we are not changing mongodb driver source.

 

I would like to get confirmation on whether this is the right approach.     Or if going through the org.eclipse.orbit.mongodb route is a better approach, please let me know too.

 

thanks,

Derek
