Re: [equinox-dev] [pde-dev] Repackaging org.osgi.service.component.annot

["Thomas Watson" <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Equinox will not export the annotation
package (via Export-Package) because it will lead to a bad practice of
using Import-Package for these non-runtime packages. Whatever the solution
ends up being to get the annotations on the classpath of the project, PDE
must do so without requiring the bundle manifest to declare a runtime dependency
on the annotation package (Import-Package or Require-Bundle).

I don't like that approach which leaves
us with maintaining and shipping the same thing twice. Let's continue the
discussion in the bug report.

Hi Peter,

I think it's possible for PDE to ship their own jar of the code. You can
simply copy the sources from Equinox. I think you still need a CQ, though.
It can be a re-use CQ for a subset of the original CQ. Might be easier
to jut go with a full re-use.

I've cc'ed equinox-dev because I think this topic may be interesting for
them, too.

Hi,

in order to improve user experience with DS Annotations, I need to contribute
package org.osgi.service.component.annotations to PDE projects' classpath
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=488800).
This package is already part of Equinox's org.eclipse.osgi.services bundle;
however, in order to make these annotations available to external builders,
they would need to be in a separate jar (otherwise users would have to
place the entire bundle on the build path).

Would it be OK to extract that package from Equinox and provide it via
PDE as a separate JAR? Since this isn't new code contribution, do I need
any special permissions/process? Thanks!
