This repositories hosts recipes for building OSGi bundles as part of the Eclipse Orbit project. This repository is based on functionality provided by the Eclipse EBR project.
This project uses Maven for assembling of OSGi bundles based on artifacts in Maven Central or any other accessible Maven repository.
mvn clean install
This will publish all OSGi bundles produced by the recipes into your local Maven repository. You can consume the bundles directly from Maven in any Tycho build.
mvn clean install -f releng/aggregationfeature/pom.xml
mvn clean package -f releng/repository/pom.xml
The repository will be made available as archive in releng/repository/target
.
Note, you must build the recipes first and install the result into your local Maven repository. Otherwise the p2 build won't find any bundles.
This is not difficult at all. Just change into the directory of the recipe to build and execute Maven from there.
cd recipes/\<path/to/recipe\>
mvn clean package
The resulting bundle will be available in the recipes target
folder.
Adding recipes to this repository is part of the general process for adding bundles to Orbit. Please read the following additional information first before you proceed.
Recipes are organized in folders by category. There is no strict rule on categories, i.e. categories do not map to vendor names by definition. However, it seems logical to select a category name based on some common critaria shared by recipies. Most of the time, “origin” of the 3rd party libraries seems like a good fit. But occasionally, functionality (eg, ‘logging’) is also helpful in order to avoid too fine grained grouping (eg., categories with only two recipies).
In case of doubts/questions, please reach out to the Orbit Committers List. Also, don‘t be afraid of mistakes. It’s all in a single Git repository so re-organization is possible at any time later on.
Note, when creating a new category please create the category pom.xml first before any recipes. Use another category pom.xml as template to inherit the proper Orbit recipe parent pom. This ensure that proper Orbit defaults are used when creating recipes (for example, the bundle vendor is automatically set to “Eclipse Orbit”).
The preferred method for creating recipies is by consuming a Maven artifact. The EBR Maven plug-in can be used to create a recipe including required Eclipse IP information based on data available in Maven artifact poms.
