Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000029
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +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" height="7" width="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 McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +000039<p>Since the 1.4.0 release, this plugin also aims to automate OBR (OSGi
40Bundle Repository) management. It helps manage a local OBR for your
41local Maven repository, and also supports remote OBRs for bundle
42distribution. The plug-in automatically computes bundle capabilities
43and requirements, using a combination of Bindex and Maven metadata.</p>

Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +000085<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>
86export. If the two sets overlap, as they do in the case, then the
87export takes precedence. Since we did not specify any values for any
88other bundle manifest headers, they will assume default values which
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +000089are 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 +000090bundle manifest header based on the contents of the bundle, which means
91that you generally do not ever need to explicitly specify it yourself.

96<p>The BND library underlying the plugin defines instructions to direct
97its behavior. For this Maven plugin, these instructions are issued in
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +000098the 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>

Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000100<ol>
101 <li><em>Manifest headers</em> - Any instruction that starts with
102a capital letter will appear in the resulting bundle's manifest file;
103the value for the header will either be copied, augmented, or generated
104by BND depending on the instruction.</li>
105 <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>
106 <li><em>Directives</em>
107- Any instruction starting with a '-' character is considered to be a
108directive that informs BND to perform some special processing and is
109not copied to the manifest.</li>

Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000119<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;ExportPackage&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000120
121<p>The <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
122packages for the bundle to export. These packages are copied into the
123resulting bundle JAR file from the available classes (i.e., project
124classes, dependencies, and class path); thus, it is possible to include
125classes into your bundle that are not associated with source files in
126your project. <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> can be specified with
127package patterns using the '*' wildcard. Also, it is possible to
128exclude packages using negation by starting the package pattern with
129'!'. Thus, non-negated patterns indicate which of the available
130packages to include in the bundle, whereas negated patterns indicate
131which should not be included in the bundle.</p>
132
133<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>
134
135<p>Following standard OSGi R4 syntax, package patterns can include both
136directives and attributes, which will be copied appropriately into the
137generated Export-Package manifest header. Besides explicitly listing
138package version attributes, BND will also determine package versions by
139examining the source JAR file or from <tt>packageinfo</tt> files in the package directory.</p>
140

Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000142
143<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>
144be exported by the bundle. If a package is selected by both the export
145and private package headers, then the export takes precedence.</p>
146
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000147<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;IncludeResource&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000148
149<p>The <tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
150arbitrary resources that should be copied into the bundle JAR file. The
151specified resources are declared as clauses that can have the following
152forms:</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000153
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000154<div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">
155<pre>clause ::= assignment | inline | simple
156assignment ::= PATH '=' PATH
157simple ::= PATH
158inline ::= '@' PATH
159</pre>
160</div></div>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000161
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000162<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>
163form will place the resource in the bundle JAR with only the file name,
164i.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>
165points to a directory, the entire directory hierarchy is copied into
166the resulting bundle JAR file relative to the specified directory. If a
167specific resource must be placed into a subdirectory of the bundle jar,
168then use the <tt>assignment</tt> form, where the first path is the the
169destination path (including file name if the resource is a file) and
170the 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>
171
172<p>If a resource clause is specified inside of "{ ... }" brackets, then
173variable substitution will be performed on the resource, where
174variables in the resources are denoted with "${ ... }" syntax.</p>
175
Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000176<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>
177
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000178<h3><a name="ApacheFelixMavenBundlePlugin(BND)-{{&lt;ImportPackage&gt;}}"></a><tt>&lt;Import-Package&gt;</tt></h3>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000179
180<p>The <tt>&lt;Import-Package&gt;</tt> instruction is a list of
181packages that are required by the bundle's contained packages. The
182default for this header is "*", resulting in importing all referred
183packages. This header rarely has to be explicitly specified. However,
184in certain cases when there is an unwanted import, such an import can
185be removed by using a negation package pattern. The package patterns
186work 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>

192<p>To use this plugin, very little information is required by BND. As
193part of the Maven integration, the plugin tries to set reasonable
194defaults for various instructions. For example:</p>
Stuart McCulloch93de6492007-12-16 15:59:05 +0000195
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000196<ul>
197 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-SymbolicName&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${groupId}.${artifactId</tt>}".</li>
Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +0000198 <li><tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>&lt;Bundle-SymbolicName&gt;.*</tt>", unless <tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> is specified, then <tt>&lt;Export-Package&gt;</tt> is assumed to be empty.</li>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000199 <li><tt>&lt;Private-Package&gt;</tt> is assumed to be empty by default.</li>
200 <li><tt>&lt;Import-Package&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>*</tt>", which imports everything referred to by the bundle content, but not contained in the bundle.</li>
Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000201 <li><tt>&lt;Include-Resource&gt;</tt> is generated from the project's Maven resources, typically "<tt>src/main/resources/</tt>",
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000202which will copy the specified project directory hierarchy into the
203resulting bundle JAR file, mirroring standard Maven behavior.</li>
204 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-Version&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.version</tt>}" with '-' character separator of the qualifier replaced with a '.' character.</li>
205 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-Name&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.name</tt>}".</li>
206 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-Description&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.description</tt>}".</li>
207 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-License&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.licenses</tt>}".</li>
208 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-Vendor&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.organization.name</tt>}".</li>
209 <li><tt>&lt;Bundle-DocURL&gt;</tt> is assumed to be "<tt>${pom.organization.url</tt>}".</li>
210</ul>
211
212
Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000213<p>Since the plugin creates bundles for OSGi R4, it hard-codes <tt>Bundle-ManifestVersion</tt>
Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000214to be '2'. Additionally, it generates imports for every export to
215ensure package substitutability, which is very important when working
216with collaborating services. It is possible to override any of these
217values (except <tt>Bundle-ManifestVersion</tt>) just by specifying the desired value in the plugin configuration section of the POM file.</p>

Karl Paulsf87ac142007-07-06 22:36:17 +0000231
232<p>To use the maven-bundle-plugin, you first need to add the plugin and
233some appropriate plugin configuration to your bundle project's POM.
234Below is an example of a simple OSGi bundle POM for Maven2:</p>

331specifies that the bundle exports the Log Service package, even though
332this package is not contained in the bundle project. By declaring this,
333the plugin will copy the Log Service package into the resulting bundle
334JAR file. This is useful in this case because now the bundle can
335resolve without having to download the entire compendium bundle. The
336resulting manifest for the Log Service bundle looks like this (notice
337how the imports/exports automatically have version information
338associated with them, which was obtained from packageinfo files in the
339source packages):</p>

Stuart McCulloch7c961f52008-01-02 08:56:07 +0000613<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>

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

619<p>where:</p>
620
621<div class="preformatted"><div class="preformattedContent">
622<pre>dependencies ::= clause ( ',' clause ) *
623clause ::= MATCH ( ';' attr '=' MATCH | ';inline=true' )

625MATCH ::= &lt;globbed regular expressions&gt;

627</div></div>
628
Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +0000629<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>
630clauses, which are then appended to the current set of instructions and
631passed onto BND. If you want the embedded dependencies to be at the
632start 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 +0000633
Stuart McCulloch3f38f732008-05-03 08:13:09 +0000634<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 +0000663<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 +0000664
665<ul>
666 <li><tt>&lt;Embed-StripVersion&gt;true&lt;/Embed-StripVersion&gt;</tt> - removes the version from the file (ie. <em>artifactId.jar</em>)</li>
667 <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>
668 <li><tt>&lt;Embed-Directory&gt;directory&lt;/Embed-Directory&gt;</tt> - adds a subdirectory (ie. <em>directory/artifactId-version.jar</em>)</li>
669</ul>
670
671
672<p>Normally the plugin only checks direct dependencies, but this can be
673changed to include the complete set of transitive dependencies with the
674following option:</p>
675
676<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
677<pre class="code-xml"><span class="code-tag">&lt;Embed-Transitive&gt;</span>true<span class="code-tag">&lt;/Embed-Transitive&gt;</span></pre>
678</div></div>
679
680<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>
681
682<div class="code"><div class="codeContent">
683<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 +0000687
688<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>
689instructions will result in classes being inlined in the bundle, even
690though they also exist inside the embedded jar. If you want to export
691packages from an embedded dependency without such duplication then you
692can either inline the dependency, or use a new BND instruction called <tt>&lt;_exportcontents&gt;</tt>.</p>
693
694<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>

874directory (<tt>target/classes</tt>) rather than the final bundle, when compiling against projects in the same reactor (ie. the same build).</p>
875
876<p>The easiest way to get around this Maven 'feature' is to unpack the
877contents of the bundle to the output directory after the packaging
878step, so the additional classes will be found where Maven expects them.
879Thankfully there is now an easy option to do this in the bundle-plugin:</p>

1011<p>Sometimes you would like to clean your local OBR because it contains
1012bundles that are no longer in your local Maven repository. This case
1013often occurs when artifacts were deleted manually. The

Stuart McCulloch0340ae42008-02-22 11:27:18 +00001030
1031<p>With a remote OBR, several uploads may occur at the same time.
1032However, the remote OBR is centralized in one file, so concurrent
1033modification must be avoided. To achieve this, the plug-in implements a
1034locking system. Each time the plug-in tries to modify the file it sets
1035a file based lock. If it can't take the lock, it will wait and retry.
1036After 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>
