[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-267) Enhance distribution jar to make it OSGi bundle

[Jaro Kuruc (JIRA)]

Jaro Kuruc commented on HV-267:
-------------------------------

I just got your point with regards to non-shaded v. shaded jar and the package names.

May I raise a question why there is a need to shade JType packages? This kind of goes against the OSGi principle, because it makes it impossible to switch implementations at runtime (like using bug-fixed version, etc.), just like it is possible with SLF4J and JPA as a matter of fact.

Can you please advocate why is JType not just another runtime lib, just like SLF4J? Especially now, that JType is in Central M2 repo (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/com/googlecode/jtype/jtype) and there's a newer version available (0.1.1).

> Hi, please consider enhancing validator's maven build to produce OSGi compliant bundle by adding OSGi specific manifest headers. At the moment, there are 2 options to do that:
> 1. Felix Bundle Plugin
> http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd.html
> 2. SpringSource Bundlor
> http://static.springsource.org/s2-bundlor/1.0.x/user-guide/html/ch03s03.html
> Also, take a look at the bundle which has been produced by SpringSource
> http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.org.hibernate.validator&version=4.0.0.GA
