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

[Martin Gencur (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-4853?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13012784#comment-13012784 ] 

Martin Gencur commented on ISPN-4853:
-------------------------------------

I would add that it might be possible to open the range so that a newer micro release can be used. It is just not clear yet whether all Infinispan features would work correctly with any newer/older "minor" version of all dependencies. This hasn't been tested and I think it's currently safer to depend on exact versions or just versions differing just by micro version. Infinispan is relatively new in OSGi world and there still might be gaps in "semantic versioning" in ISPN itself or its dependencies.

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

> 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.
