Re: [tycho-user] Handling non-osgi jar files
|
we have used maven-bundle-plugin [1]
with Embed-Dependency directive (-> no nested jars)
IMHO the only semi-sane way to generate OSGi MANIFESTs based on 3rd party binaries.
build your OSGi wrappers in a separate ("orbit"-like) reactor and then use pomDependencies=consider to consume them[2].
For convenience in PDE you may also build an eclipse-repository out of these.

Subject: [tycho-user] Handling non-osgi jar files
I'm in the process of tycho-ifying an eclipse plugin project. It has 3rd
party non osgi jar files residing in lib directories in of subprojects,
and included in the classpath.
Maven/Tycho is able to build this, and the jar files get included in the
built plugins, just as a pde build would.
But: in a proper mavenised and tycho-ified project one would not have
these local lib directories. Instead, the jar files and their versions
would be specified in pom files, and plucked from a maven repo when
building.
Similarly, one would like such jar files from maven repo made available
in the eclipse plugin project.
So what is the state-of-the-art when it comes to building plugins that
include non-osgi jars? I googled this, and found
http://software.2206966.n2.nabble.com/Good-solution-for-non-osgi-jars-td5098103.html
but that was almost 3 years ago, hopefully the situation has improved.
PS In some lucky cases one can find bundle-ified versions at Maven
central, but unfortunately not all.
Thanks in advance,
--Thomas
