ADDON CREATE WRAPPER - An endless journey or Am I missing something?

[naveen.rajan]

I wanted to create an ADDON WRAPPER for the Apache-Velocity jars. When I deployed the wrapped Bundle, OSGI asked for werken-xpath jar. I added this to POM.xml. OSGI then asked for antlr. The chain reaction went on: javax.servlet, junit, commons-logging, org.apache.avalon.framework, avalon-logkit & javax.jms.
Finally, the javax.jms jars were missing in MavenRepository. (<groupId>javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jms</artifactId> <version>1.1</version>)
Please help.

You probably have to add exclusions to your wrapping pom. An example (H2 database) is:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                <configuration>
                    <instructions>
                        <Import-Package>javax.servlet.*;resolution:=optional,org.apache.lucene.*;resolution:=optional,org.slf4j;resolution:=optional,*</Import-Package>
                    </instructions>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

Add one package at a time, build and start the bundle and see what package it complains about next.
