How to deploy multiple versions of a same OSGi bundle

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how to install multiple version of a same OSGi bundle?

Thanks,

Pratik

Hi Pratik,

Inside an OSGi container you could treat different versions of a bundle as totally different bundles. So you could do something like:

osgi:install -s mvn:yet.another.bundle/bundle/1.0.0

osgi:install -s mvn:yet.another.bundle/bundle/2.0.0

Then you can have say bundle A using version 1.0.0 and bundle B using version 2.0.0. You should be careful though not to have any link between bundle A and bundle B as it can lead to constraint violations, or other kind of issues. Using strict version ranges will help you have more control over such cases.
