<div class="main">
<p>This Maven plug-in aims to automate OBR (OSGi Bundle Repository)
management. It helps manage a local OBR for your local Maven
repository, and also supports remote OBRs for bundle distribution. The
plug-in automatically computes bundle capabilities and requirements,
using a combination of Bindex and Maven metadata.</p>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Features"></a>Features</h2>
<p>The maven-obr-plugin supports:</p>
<ul>
<li>Management of both local and remote OBRs</li>
<li>Registering Maven and non-Maven artifacts with OBRs</li>
<li>Automatically discovering bundle capabilities and requirements</li>
<li>Customizing bundle descriptions</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Howtousethemavenobrplugin?"></a>How to use the maven-obr-plugin?</h2>
<p>The plug-in offers five Maven goals:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>install</b> adds the current bundle project to the local OBR</li>
<li><b>install-file</b> adds a local bundle file to the local OBR</li>
<li><b>deploy</b> adds the current bundle project to a remote OBR</li>
<li><b>deploy-file</b> adds a local bundle file to a remote OBR</li>
<li><b>clean</b> cleans the local OBR, removing missing bundles</li>
</ul>
<p>Any of these goals can be disabled by setting <tt>-DobrRepository=NONE</tt></p>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-obr:install"></a>obr:install</h2>
<p>The <b>install</b> goal updates the local OBR with the details of the installed bundle from the local Maven repository.</p>
<p>(If the project has an <tt>obr.xml</tt> file somewhere in its resources, then it will be automatically detected and applied.)</p>
<p>configuration:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>obrRepository</em> path to local OBR, defaults to <em>&lt;local-maven-repository&gt;</em><tt>/repository.xml</tt></li>
</ul>
<p>To attach this goal to your project's lifecycle, use:</p>

<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-obr:deploy"></a>obr:deploy</h2>
<p>The <b>deploy goal</b> updates the remote OBR with the details of
the deployed bundle from the local Maven repository. The remote OBR is
found by querying the <tt>&lt;distributionManagement&gt;</tt> section of the project, unless <tt>-DaltDeploymentRepository</tt> is set.

<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-obr:deployfile"></a>obr:deploy-file</h2>
<p>The <b>deploy-file</b> goal updates the remote OBR with the details of a deployed bundle from the local filesystem. The remote OBR is found using the <tt>-DrepositoryId</tt> and <tt>-Durl</tt> parameters. See <span class="nobr"><a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html<sup><img class="rendericon" src="maven-obr-plugin_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" height="7" width="7"></sup></a></span> for more details about these particular settings.</p>
<p>You can use the <tt>-DbundleUrl</tt> parameter to give the public location of the deployed bundle, which may differ from the remote OBR location.</p>
<p>configuration:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>obrRepository</em> name of remote OBR, defaults to <tt>repository.xml</tt></li>
<li><em>repositoryId</em> optional repository id, used to lookup authentication settings</li>
<li><em>url</em> remote repository transport URL, like <div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">

<li><em>bundleUrl</em> public URL of deployed bundle, like <div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">

<li><em>groupId</em> Maven groupId for the bundle, taken from <em>pomFile</em> if given</li>

-DbundleUrl=http://www.foo.org/bundles/foo.jar
</pre>
</div></div>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-obr:clean"></a>obr:clean</h2>
<p>Sometimes you would like to clean your local OBR because it contains
bundles that are no longer in your local Maven repository. This case
often occurs when artifacts were deleted manually. The maven-obr-plugin
provides a simple goal to check for missing bundles, and remove them
from the local OBR.</p>
<p>configuration:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>obrRepository</em> path to local OBR, defaults to <em>&lt;local-maven-repository&gt;<tt></tt></em><tt>/repository.xml</tt></li>
</ul>
<p>To attach this goal to your project's lifecycle, use:</p>
<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">

<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Concurrentupdates"></a>Concurrent updates</h2>
<p>With a remote OBR, several uploads may occur at the same time.
However, the remote OBR is centralized in one file, so concurrent
modification must be avoided. To achieve this, the plug-in implements a
locking system. Each time the plug-in tries to modify the file it sets
a file based lock. If it can't take the lock, it will wait and retry.
After 3 attempts the upload process fails. To bypass this lock add <tt>-DignoreLock</tt> to the command-line (or add <tt>&lt;ignoreLock&gt;true&lt;ignoreLock&gt;</tt> to the configuration section of your Pom).</p>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-FTPprotocol"></a>FTP protocol</h2>
<p>Not all protocols are supported by Maven out of the box. For example the ftp protocol requires the <b>wagon-ftp</b> component. To enable the ftp protocol add this to your Pom:</p>
<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
<pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;build&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;extensions&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;extension&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;groupId&gt;</span>org.apache.maven.wagon<span class="code-tag">&lt;/groupId&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;artifactId&gt;</span>wagon-ftp<span class="code-tag">&lt;/artifactId&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;version&gt;</span>1.0-alpha-6<span class="code-tag">&lt;/version&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;/extension&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;/extensions&gt;</span>
<span class="code-tag">&lt;/build&gt;</span></pre>
</div></div>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Howtheplugincomputesthedescriptionofthebundle"></a>How the plug-in computes the description of the bundle</h2>
<p>The description of the bundle comes from three different sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bindex : Bindex is a tool that analyzes a bundle manifest to generate OBR description</li>
<li>pom.xml : by analyzing the pom file, various information is collected (symbolic name ...)</li>
<li>obr.xml : this file contains customized description and capabilities for the bundle</li>
</ul>
<p>These sources are merged together using the following precedence:</p>
<div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">
<pre>Bindex
| (overrides)
pom.xml
| (overrides)
obr.xml
</pre>
</div></div>
<p>A warning message is displayed when existing information is overridden.</p>
<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Knownissues&amp;limitations"></a>Known issues &amp; limitations</h2>
<ol>
<li>obr.xml (file given by the user to add properties not found
by Bindex) must be correct, because the plug-in does not check its
syntax.</li>
</ol>
</div>
