Problems building jboss-osgi project from trunk

[ascheerer]

Dear JBossOSGi developers,

currently I am trying to build the osgi project from trunk following the wiki description. But a simple 'mvn clean install' does not do the job.

The following errors occur:

1. Complete Build

When I try to run =mvn install= in the parent folder, I get the following dependency errors. The jboss-osgi-reflect snapshot depends on a not existing jboss-reflect snapshot. and the jboss-osgi-framework is missing for the Blueprint project.

 Missing:
----------
1) org.jboss:jboss-reflect:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.jboss -DartifactId=jboss-reflect -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.jboss -DartifactId=jboss-reflect -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) org.jboss.osgi.bundles:jboss-osgi-blueprint:bundle:1.0.0.Alpha3
        2) org.jboss.osgi.bundles:jboss-osgi-reflect:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT
        3) org.jboss:jboss-reflect:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

2) org.jboss.osgi.runtime:jboss-osgi-framework:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.osgi.runtime -DartifactId=jboss-osgi-framework -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.osgi.runtime -DartifactId=jboss-osgi-framework -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) org.jboss.osgi.bundles:jboss-osgi-blueprint:bundle:1.0.0.Alpha3
        2) org.jboss.osgi.runtime:jboss-osgi-framework:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

----------
2 required artifacts are missing.

for artifact:
  org.jboss.osgi.bundles:jboss-osgi-blueprint:bundle:1.0.0.Alpha3

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
  snapshots.jboss.org (http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2/),
  repository.jboss.org (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/),
  aQute (http://www.aQute.biz/repo)

2. Framework Build

When I try to build the framework (reactor/framework) there is also a dependency problem. The required jboss-kernel snapshot (2.2.0) is unavailable. I tried to switch to the latest version 2.2.0.Alpha1, but then all test break because of some method access exceptions.

Missing:
----------
1) org.jboss.kernel:jboss-kernel:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.kernel -DartifactId=jboss-kernel -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.kernel -DartifactId=jboss-kernel -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) org.jboss.osgi.runtime:jboss-osgi-framework:bundle:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
        2) org.jboss.kernel:jboss-kernel:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

2) org.jboss.kernel:jboss-dependency:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.kernel -DartifactId=jboss-dependency -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.jboss.kernel -DartifactId=jboss-dependency -Dversion=2.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
        1) org.jboss.osgi.runtime:jboss-osgi-framework:bundle:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
        2) org.jboss.kernel:jboss-dependency:jar:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

I would love to work on the blueprint project code and wonder if there is a better starting point than trunk (e.g. 1.0.0.Beta5). Or are there too many major changes between 1.0.0.Beta5 and trunk so that it is not very clever to start working on the blueprint code based on a previous revision? Another good idea/starting point might be to fix trunk :-)

Many thanks for helping!

I would love to work on the blueprint project code and wonder if there is a better starting point than trunk (e.g. 1.0.0.Beta5).

Afaik, we will be moving to Apache Aries' bluprint in the future.

But Thomas can tell you more.

I'm not into reactor much, hence dunno what all needs to be fixed in order to work.

But main framework should be fine now -- just did "mvn clean install" on it.

* http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-osgi/projects/runtime/framework/trunk/

And there is plenty of work to be done, if you're interested in core stuff.

* https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBOSGI

About other more JEE stuff, Thomas can fill you in.

ps: framework was moved out of reactor

Yes, the main framework is fine now. Thanks! There are still missing dependendencies for the blueprint project, but that seems to be not very important any more. I think I'll try to get into the core stuff. Perhaps its a good idea to get to know the core before working on other things anyway.

Andy, have you seen this?

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/OSGiFrameworkDesign

[thomas.diesler]

I removed the following condition for the framework build in reactor/pom.xml

    <!--
      Name: framework-jbossmc
      Descr: Build the MC based framework
    -->
    <profile>
      <id>framework-jbossmc</id>
      <activation>
        <property>
          <name>framework</name>
          <value>jbossmc</value>
        </property>
      </activation>
      <modules>
        <module>framework</module>
      </modules>
    </profile>

jboss-osgi/trunk should now always build the latest framework and not rely on a snapshot that is (very likely) not deployed to the mvn repo anyway.

Of course, you can also do 'mvn install' in reactor/framework, which would put the binaries in your local mvn repo.

The new condition reads

    <!--
      Name: externals
      Descr: Build the external reactor projects
    -->
    <profile>
      <id>externals</id>
      <activation>
        <property>
          <name>!noexternals</name>
        </property>
      </activation>
      <modules>
        <module>framework</module>
      </modules>
    </profile>

which means that external projects are build by default. The build can be disabled with 'mvn -Dnoexternals install'

Here is the latest build that is ok according to hudson

Hi Thomas,

thanks for telling me about http://community.jboss.org/wiki/OSGiFrameworkDesign . Thats a good starting tour deeper into the Framework.

I will try to build the project on my local machine later to give some feedback.

Bye

Andi

UR welcome. You may also want to have a look at this

The build runs perfect now.

But I discovered another unresolvable dependency: the bundle jboss-osgi-reflect ( http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-osgi/projects/bundles/jboss-reflect/trunk ) depends on the not existing 2.2.0 snapshot of jboss-reflect. Switching to jboss-reflect version 2.2.0.Alpha2 resolves this dependency problem.
