[buckminster-dev] Re: Question about dependancy description and resolution
|
Hi Ikuo,
We are currently looking at how we can improve the Buckminster search algorithms so that it
will be able to find bundles based on a need to import specific packages. Someone must
provide a list of bundles that can be searched for exports that match. The problem is a bit
similar to finding a suitable runtime implementation for something that implements an
interface that you have expressed a dependency towards.
The design is not yet finished, so the current answer to your question is no, we cannot
resolve these dependencies today. You will need to add a bundle requirement or a feature
that will bring the providing bundles into the graph somehow in order for it to build properly.
Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi,
I have a question about dependancies and resolutions in Buckminster.
Generally speaking, OSGi bundles (=eclipse plugins) have two
kinds of dependancies on others specified in the following Manifest
headers.
1. Import-Package / Export-Package
2. Require-Bundle
Alghough I guess Buckminster supports the 2nd one,
does it support the 1st one ?
In other words,
Can Eclipse Conpoment Types used with Eclipse Import or Platform Reader
handle Import/Export-Package and make suitable CSPEC and can Buckminster
resolve these dependancies ?
