Re: [equinox-dev] Jetty and commons logging

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I'd like to do some advertising for Buckminster here. With it, you can 
point to update sites or PDE map files (such as the Eclipse Orbit map). 
Buckminster will treat them in a similar way that Maven treats its 
repository. It will do transitive resolution of all dependencies found 
in plugins or features and materialize the resulting closure to your 
workspace. If needed, it can also read and resolve from maven 
repositories and pick source from CVS or SVN.

You can find more information about Buckminster here: 
http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster

A sample resource map (maps components to locations) can be found here: 
http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/samples/rmaps/dogfood2.rmap. The 
'default' search path in this rmap uses the Orbit repository at Eclipse.org.

A cquery using this RMAP that would resolve the commons-logging OSGi 
bundle from Orbit looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<componentQuery xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/CQuery-1.0"; 
resourceMap="http://www.eclipse.org/buckminster/samples/rmaps/dogfood2.rmap";>
   <rootRequest name="org.apache.commons.logging" 
componentType="osgi.bundle"/>
</componentQuery>

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
