[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-4853) OSGI metadata import-package version ranges are too narrow

Ion Savin commented on ISPN-4853:
---------------------------------

Hi Andrew,

The narrow version range is intentional and indeed if the required dependencies are missing you won't be able to use Infinispan but all you need to do to make it work is install them. Having multiple versions of the same bundle in the container shouldn't be a problem.

For Apache Karaf we provide feature files through which the required dependencies are installed "automatically". For Apache Felix or other containers you would indeed need to install the specific versions manually but there shouldn't be a problem having an older bundle version (required by Infinispan) alongside the newer version which might be used by other bundles.

What are your concerns regarding having multiple bundle versions?

The blueprint dependency is generated by BND. I'm looking to see if it can be removed.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 7.0.0.CR1
>         Environment: Any OSGI environment (but found on Glassfish / Apache Felix).

> The OSGI import-package statement is specifying specific dependencies on a number of packages, rather than a range. This makes it impossible to install Infinispan 7 in any OSGI environment that doesn't have the exact versions of the dependencies present.
> Normally, the version range for dependencies would range from the major:minor:revision of the minimum requirement, up to the next major version (exclusive).
> I've copied and pasted the "Imported Packages" output below from my Apache Felix bundle console for the infinispan-core bundle.
> The bundle will not resolve because the versions of javax.transaction, JGroups, jboss-marshalling and jboss-logging are slightly newer than those required.
> The org.osgi.service.blueprint dependency is also dubious -- I'm not sure you usually have a runtime dependency on this package (even if you use Blueprint).
> For example, the following statement...
> org.jboss.marshalling;version="[1.4.4.Final,1.4.4.Final]"
> ...should probably be...
> org.jboss.marshalling;version="[1.4.4.Final,2)"
> ...in order to comply with standard semantic versioning policy.
