Stuart McCulloch282f1122008-02-06 05:12:24 +0000[diff] [blame]32<p>This Maven plug-in aims to automate OBR (OSGi Bundle Repository)
33management. It helps manage a local OBR for your local Maven
34repository, and also supports remote OBRs for bundle distribution. The
35plug-in automatically computes bundle capabilities and requirements,
36using a combination of Bindex and Maven metadata.</p>

226<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-Concurrentupdates"></a>Concurrent updates</h2>
227
228<p>With a remote OBR, several uploads may occur at the same time.
229However, the remote OBR is centralized in one file, so concurrent
230modification must be avoided. To achieve this, the plug-in implements a
231locking system. Each time the plug-in tries to modify the file it sets
232a file based lock. If it can't take the lock, it will wait and retry.
233After 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>

235<h2><a name="MavenOBRPlugin-FTPprotocol"></a>FTP protocol</h2>
236
237<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>
