Mickael Istria commented on AS7-5920:
-------------------------------------
Doesn't R5 provide all the necessary metadata to handle transitive installation of
bundles? Eclipse does that with p2, but I've been told by some OSGi people at
EclipseCon Europe that R5 and p2 were kinds of competitors on this topic.
For more info about how p2 could handle R5, see this ticket:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=393648
When it comes to build time for OSGi, have you considered usage/extension of Tycho? Tycho
relies on content from MANIFEST.MF to define dependencies, and uses p2 to resolve and
fetch dependencies. After a quick chat at EclipseCon with some Tycho committers, we agreed
that it would be possible to handle other repositories kind than p2, this could include R5
repositories.
So this feature may have a dependency on JBOSGI-616
OSGi feature provisioning service

Key: AS7-5920
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5920
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: OSGi
Reporter: Thomas Diesler
Assignee: Thomas Diesler
Fix For: 7.2.0.CR1
It should be possible to provision the server with a set of capabilities similar to
Eclipse plugin installation. For this we need to prime the Repository with the caps/reqs
associated with the resources that are already available in the Runtime. The resolver
needs to do impact analysis based on a snapshot of caps in the environment. Finally, the
resources coming from the repository can be deployed. This functionality could be the
foundation to do this at build time such that even subsystems can be layered on a basic
Core Runtime.
