Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000029
Stuart McCulloche23ec842008-08-05 06:36:05 +000030<p>This plugin for Maven 2 is based on the <span class="nobr"><a href="http://www.aqute.biz/Code/Bnd" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">BND<sup><img class="rendericon" src="apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000031tool from Peter Kriens. The way BND works is by treating your project
32as a big collection of classes (e.g., project code, dependencies, and
33the class path). The way you create a bundle with BND is to tell it the
34content of the bundle's JAR file as a subset of the available classes.
35This plugin wraps BND to make it work specifically with the Maven 2
36project structure and to provide it with reasonable default behavior
37for Maven 2 projects.</p>
38
Stuart McCulloche23ec842008-08-05 06:36:05 +000039<p><em>NOTE: only compile, runtime and system scoped dependencies are passed to BND. Provided and test dependencies are <b>not</b> included in the classpath seen by BND.</em></p>
40
Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +000041<p>Since the 1.4.0 release, this plugin also aims to automate OBR (OSGi
42Bundle Repository) management. It helps manage a local OBR for your
43local Maven repository, and also supports remote OBRs for bundle
44distribution. The plug-in automatically computes bundle capabilities
45and requirements, using a combination of Bindex and Maven metadata.</p>

Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000087<p>The <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> instructions tell the plugin about the contents of the resulting bundle JAR file. The <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> instruction tells the plugin which of the available packages to copy into the bundle <b>and</b> export, while the <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> instruction indicates which of the available packages to copy into the bundle <b>but not</b>
88export. If the two sets overlap, as they do in the case, then the
89export takes precedence. Since we did not specify any values for any
90other bundle manifest headers, they will assume default values which
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +000091are described <a href="#ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin%2528BND%2529-defaultbehavior" title="default-behavior on Apache Felix Maven Bundle Plugin (BND)">below</a>. One specific behavior to highlight is that the plugin generates the <tt>Import-Package</tt>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000092bundle manifest header based on the contents of the bundle, which means
93that you generally do not ever need to explicitly specify it yourself.
94That's it.</p>

98<p>The BND library underlying the plugin defines instructions to direct
99its behavior. For this Maven plugin, these instructions are issued in
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000100the plugin configuration section of the POM file, as was illustrated <a href="#ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin%2528BND%2529-simpleexample" title="simple-example on Apache Felix Maven Bundle Plugin (BND)">above</a>. BND recognizes three types of instructions:</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000101
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000102<ol>
103 <li><em>Manifest headers</em> - Any instruction that starts with
104a capital letter will appear in the resulting bundle's manifest file;
105the value for the header will either be copied, augmented, or generated
106by BND depending on the instruction.</li>
107 <li><em>Variables</em> - Any instruction starting with a lowercase letter is assumed to be a variable in the form of a name-value pair, such as <tt>version=3.0</tt>, that can be used for property substitution, but is not copied to the manifest.</li>
108 <li><em>Directives</em>
109- Any instruction starting with a '-' character is considered to be a
110directive that informs BND to perform some special processing and is
111not copied to the manifest.</li>

Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000121<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;ExportPackage&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000122
123<p>The <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
124packages for the bundle to export. These packages are copied into the
125resulting bundle JAR file from the available classes (i.e., project
126classes, dependencies, and class path); thus, it is possible to include
127classes into your bundle that are not associated with source files in
128your project. <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> can be specified with
129package patterns using the '*' wildcard. Also, it is possible to
130exclude packages using negation by starting the package pattern with
131'!'. Thus, non-negated patterns indicate which of the available
132packages to include in the bundle, whereas negated patterns indicate
133which should not be included in the bundle.</p>
134
135<p>The list of package patterns is ordered and earlier patterns are applied before later patterns. For example, if you specify "<tt>org.foo.*,!org.foo.impl</tt>" the second pattern has no effect since all <tt>org.foo</tt> packages have already been selected by the first pattern. Instead, you should specify "<tt>!org.foo.impl,org.foo.*</tt>", which will export all <tt>org.foo</tt> packages except <tt>org.foo.impl</tt>.</p>
136
137<p>Following standard OSGi R4 syntax, package patterns can include both
138directives and attributes, which will be copied appropriately into the
139generated Export-Package manifest header. Besides explicitly listing
140package version attributes, BND will also determine package versions by
141examining the source JAR file or from <tt>packageinfo</tt> files in the package directory.</p>
142
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000143<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;PrivatePackage&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000144
145<p>The <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> instruction is similar in every way to the <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> instruction, except for the fact that these packages will <b>not</b>
146be exported by the bundle. If a package is selected by both the export
147and private package headers, then the export takes precedence.</p>
148
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000149<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;IncludeResource&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000150
151<p>The <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
152arbitrary resources that should be copied into the bundle JAR file. The
153specified resources are declared as clauses that can have the following
154forms:</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000155
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000156<div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">
157<pre>clause ::= assignment | inline | simple
158assignment ::= PATH '=' PATH
159simple ::= PATH
160inline ::= '@' PATH
161</pre>
162</div></div>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000163
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000164<p>For the <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction, actual file paths are relative to the <tt>pom.xml</tt>, while file copy destinations are relative to the root of the resulting bundle JAR file. In the case of <tt>assignment</tt> or <tt>simple</tt> forms, the <tt>PATH</tt> parameter can point to a file or directory. The <tt>simple</tt>
165form will place the resource in the bundle JAR with only the file name,
166i.e., without any path component. For example, including <tt>src/main/resources/a/b.c</tt> will result in a resource <tt>b.c</tt> in the root of the bundle JAR. If the <tt>PATH</tt>
167points to a directory, the entire directory hierarchy is copied into
168the resulting bundle JAR file relative to the specified directory. If a
169specific resource must be placed into a subdirectory of the bundle jar,
170then use the <tt>assignment</tt> form, where the first path is the the
171destination path (including file name if the resource is a file) and
172the second path is the resource to copy. The <tt>inline</tt> form requires a ZIP or JAR file, which will be completely expanded in the bundle JAR.</p>
173
174<p>If a resource clause is specified inside of "{ ... }" brackets, then
175variable substitution will be performed on the resource, where
176variables in the resources are denoted with "${ ... }" syntax.</p>
177
Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000178<p>By default the bundle plugin converts the project's Maven resource directories into a single <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction. If you specify your own <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction, this will replace the generated one. To include the generated list of Maven resources in your own <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction just add {<tt>maven-resources</tt>} to the list and it will be expanded automatically.</p>
179
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000180<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;ImportPackage&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Import-Package&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000181
182<p>The <tt>&lt;Import-Package&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
183packages that are required by the bundle's contained packages. The
184default for this header is "*", resulting in importing all referred
185packages. This header rarely has to be explicitly specified. However,
186in certain cases when there is an unwanted import, such an import can
187be removed by using a negation package pattern. The package patterns
188work in the same way as for <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt>, which means they are ordered. For example, if you wanted to import all packages except <tt>org.foo.impl</tt> you would specify "<tt>!org.foo.impl,*</tt>"</p>

Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000230<p>Since the plugin creates bundles for OSGi R4, it hard-codes <tt>Bundle-ManifestVersion</tt>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000231to be '2'. Additionally, it generates imports for every export to
232ensure package substitutability, which is very important when working
233with collaborating services. It is possible to override any of these
234values (except <tt>Bundle-ManifestVersion</tt>) just by specifying the desired value in the plugin configuration section of the POM file.</p>

351the plugin will copy the Log Service package into the resulting bundle

353resolve without having to download the entire compendium bundle. The

356associated with them, which was obtained from packageinfo files in the

Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000631<p>The Maven Bundle Plugin supports embedding of selected project dependencies inside the bundle by using the <tt>&lt;Embed-Dependency&gt;</tt> instruction:</p>

633<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">

636
637<p>where:</p>
638
639<div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">
640<pre>dependencies ::= clause ( ',' clause ) *
641clause ::= MATCH ( ';' attr '=' MATCH | ';inline=true' )

643MATCH ::= &lt;globbed regular expressions&gt;

645</div></div>
646
Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +0000647<p>The plugin uses the <tt>&lt;Embed-Dependency&gt;</tt> instruction to transform the project dependencies into <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;Bundle-ClassPath&gt;</tt>
648clauses, which are then appended to the current set of instructions and
649passed onto BND. If you want the embedded dependencies to be at the
650start or middle of <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;Bundle-ClassPath&gt;</tt> then you can use {<tt>maven-dependencies</tt>}, which will automatically expand to the relevant clauses.</p>
Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000651
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000652<p>The MATCH section accepts alternatives, separated by <b>|</b>, and can be negated by using <b>!</b> at the <em>beginning</em> of the MATCH. Use <b>*</b> to represent zero or more unknown characters and <b>?</b> to represent a single unknown character. There is no need to escape the <b>.</b> character inside MATCH. The first MATCH in a clause will filter against the artifactId.</p>

Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000681<p>By default matched dependencies are embedded in the bundle as <tt>artifactId-version.jar</tt>. This behaviour can be modified using the following instructions:</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000682
683<ul>
684 <li><tt>&lt;Embed-StripVersion&gt;true&lt;/Embed-StripVersion&gt;</tt> - removes the version from the file (ie. <em>artifactId.jar</em>)</li>
685 <li><tt>&lt;Embed-StripGroup&gt;false&lt;/Embed-StripGroup&gt;</tt> - adds the groupId as a subdirectory (ie. <em>groupId/artifactId-version.jar</em>)</li>
686 <li><tt>&lt;Embed-Directory&gt;directory&lt;/Embed-Directory&gt;</tt> - adds a subdirectory (ie. <em>directory/artifactId-version.jar</em>)</li>
687</ul>
688
689
690<p>Normally the plugin only checks direct dependencies, but this can be
691changed to include the complete set of transitive dependencies with the
692following option:</p>
693
694<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
695<pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;Embed-Transitive&gt;</span>true<span class="code-tag">&lt;/Embed-Transitive&gt;</span></pre>
696</div></div>
697
698<p>If you want a dependency inlined instead of embedded add the <tt>inline=true</tt>. For example to inline all <em>compile</em> and <em>runtime</em> scoped dependencies use:</p>
699
700<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
701<pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;Embed-Dependency&gt;</span>*;scope=compile|runtime;inline=true<span class="code-tag">&lt;/Embed-Dependency&gt;</span></pre>

Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000705
706<p>If you embed a dependency with <tt>&lt;Embed-Dependency&gt;</tt>, and your <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> or <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> instructions match packages inside the embedded jar, you will see some duplication inside the bundle. This is because the <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt>
707instructions will result in classes being inlined in the bundle, even
708though they also exist inside the embedded jar. If you want to export
709packages from an embedded dependency without such duplication then you
710can either inline the dependency, or use a new BND instruction called <tt>&lt;_exportcontents&gt;</tt>.</p>
711
712<p><tt>&lt;_exportcontents&gt;</tt> behaves just like Export-Package, except it doesn't change the content of the bundle, just what content should be exported.</p>

Stuart McCulloche23ec842008-08-05 06:36:05 +0000875<p>FYI: the above POM was generated using the <tt>pax-create-bundle</tt> command from <span class="nobr"><a href="http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct/index.html" title="Visit page outside Confluence" rel="nofollow">Pax-Construct<sup><img class="rendericon" src="apache-felix-maven-bundle-plugin-bnd_files/linkext7.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="7" height="7"></sup></a></span> and then tweaked to demonstrate using the Maven Dependency Plugin to handle embedded jars in Eclipse.</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000876

881</div></div>
882
883<p>to create the appropriate Eclipse files and manifest, and also
884handle any embedded entries. The pax:eclipse goal extends
885eclipse:eclipse, and supports the same parameters.</p>

Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000888
889<p>Once in a while you may create a bundle which contains additional classes to the ones compiled from <tt>src/main/java</tt>,
890for example when you embed the classes from another jar. This can
891sometimes cause unforeseen problems in Maven, as it will use the output
892directory (<tt>target/classes</tt>) rather than the final bundle, when compiling against projects in the same reactor (ie. the same build).</p>
893
894<p>The easiest way to get around this Maven 'feature' is to unpack the
895contents of the bundle to the output directory after the packaging
896step, so the additional classes will be found where Maven expects them.
897Thankfully there is now an easy option to do this in the bundle-plugin:</p>

Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +00001048
1049<p>With a remote OBR, several uploads may occur at the same time.
1050However, the remote OBR is centralized in one file, so concurrent
1051modification must be avoided. To achieve this, the plug-in implements a
1052locking system. Each time the plug-in tries to modify the file it sets
1053a file based lock. If it can't take the lock, it will wait and retry.
1054After 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>
