Gemini Blueprint Milestone shipped with OSGi R4.2? [message #1255807]

According to this message http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/642416/1237771/#msg_1237771 Gemini Blueprint 2 should be shipped with OSGi R4.3 level.

I downloaded the actual Snapshot and tried to use it in one of my projects, but couldn't without adaption. The problem is, that actual Gemini Blueprint 2 snapshots are shipped with org.osgi.core:4.2.0.

Gemini Blueprint 1.x is shipped org.osgi.core 3.7.2, gb-2 is shipped with version 4.2.0 but should be shipped with 4.3, right?

By taking a look at the sources on grepcode, i wonder why the API of 4.2 is reduced compared 4.3 and 3.7.2
4.3.1: grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.osgi/org.osgi.core/4.3.1/org/osgi/framework/BundleContext.java#BundleContext
4.2.0: grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.osgi/org.osgi.core/4.2.0/org/osgi/framework/BundleContext.java#BundleContext
3.7.2: grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/eclipse.org/3.7.2/org.eclipse/osgi/3.7.2/org/osgi/framework/BundleContext.java#BundleContext

Sorry for the bad links, your forum system says i have to write 5 posts to post external links.

Hello Martin,

You should be getting SNAPSHOT versions for now. Milestones are at 4.2 still.
Looking at https://repo.eclipse.org/index.html#nexus-search;quick~gemini-blueprint, I see gemini-blueprint parent pom (https://repo.eclipse.org/service/local/repositories/gemini-blueprint-snapshots/content/org/eclipse/gemini/blueprint/gemini-blueprint/2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/gemini-blueprint-2.0.0.BUILD-20140225.012502-113.pom) locking org.osgi.core at 4.3.1. org.eclipse.osgi 3.7.2 is an implementation of R4.3 spec. You can see if by looking at the manifest headers i.e.:

Export-Package: ...
  org.osgi.framework;version="1.6"

1.6 is R4.3 version, where R4.2 was 1.5 for org.osgi.framework.

if you are using Maven, add the following repository to your pom file:

<repository>
            <id>blueprint-snapshot-repo</id>
            <name>Blueprint Snapshot Repo</name>
            <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/gemini-blueprint-snapshots/</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>

Proper version would 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.

Post back here or open a bugzilla issue if you are still facing issues. We will be cutting a new milestone within few weeks that will contain necessary changes for R4.3

Kind regards,

Dmitry

Hallo Dimitry,

In the gemini bluprint 2.0 .parent.pom there are repos defined which lead to maven.springframework.org, are those dead urls?

Are those dead repos?

At least, I got a few questions:
Is anyone working on gemini-bluprint-test to add junit4 support?
Is there any maven repository providing current release (1.0.2) of gemini-bueprint including all modules? Spring-EBR will not add any modules and doesnt contain gemini-bp-mock nor g-bp-test, but i need them. Can you upload them to the new eclipse repository?
Is there a release date or roadmap for GB-2.0?

BR,
Martin

Hello Martin,

maven.springframework.org - You are right. Dead as 404 can be.

Junit 4 - not sure if this will be a good time investment. At the time when initial implementation was created - it was something that filled a void. I am actually considering deprecating it and moving to something like paxexam (https://ops4j1.jira.com/wiki/display/PAXEXAM3/Pax+Exam).

I will try to upload 1.0.2 to the nexus repo later today otherwise I will publish it to here http://download.eclipse.org/gemini/mvn/. Will reply back to let you know where it is.

I will send out a roadmap for 2.0 later this week. Its been on my to-do for a while now. Was trying to finish R4.3 update first.

Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

you are right, its a void requirement.

I have taken a look to pax exam a few weeks ago and tried to understand how to combine it with gemini blueprint and failed. So I tried GB-Test for the first time and it seems great to me - ok documenation could be better. But by reading a bit of the code i understood it faster than i did with pax exam. And well, i think that is the main requirement of a test framework, right?

Are there issues with gb-test to set it to deprecated? If so, I couldn't find them in bugzilla.

BR,
Martin
