Apache Felix and Osmorc
It’s actually possible to get Felix fully running with Osmorc. You need to download the additional bundle org.osgi.core - named “OSGi core API’s” on Felix’ download page. After installing this bundle in the bundle folder of your Felix installation you will need to recreate the associated framework instance in Osmorc to make Osmorc aware of the changes.
Thanks to Richard S. Hall for pointing out that my statement about Felix not exporting the core OSGi packages was wrong.
I just started learning about OSGi and I'm starting on the tutorials which led me to install Osmorc (thank you, BTW for spending your valuable time on this plugin. I know it can often be a thankless job). I need to use Felix (company's choice). I have the Felix shell up and running but I'm not sure what all I have to do to get Osmorc working with Felix.
I think "installing this bundle in the bundle folder of your Felix installation" is simply copying the org.osgi.core-1.2.0.jar to the felix/bundle directory, right?
But, I have no idea how to "recreate the associated framework instance in Osmorc to make Osmorc aware of the changes".
I am using IDEA 8.0 and Felix 1.4.0 if it matters.
Hi,
That's right, put org.osgi.core-1.2.0.jar in the bundle folder of your Felix installation.
Most likely you haven't created a framework instance definition for Felix yet. go to File -> Settings ->Osmorc and define one on the tab page labeled "Framework Definitions".
You'll find more information about this and other Osmorc topics in Osmorcs documentation. Go to Help -> Help topics and open the section "Osmorc" in the appearing "IntelliJ IDEA Help" viewer.
Cheers,
Robert
