Re: [jetty-dev] Jetty, OSGi, p2 and the Eclipse release repo

[Chris Frost <frostc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I don't mind which p2 repository I use to get Jetty from as long as it 
contains the OSGi support bundles as well. Like the boot bundle and it 
various fragments. Only parts of Virgo are on the release train and our 
Jetty packaging isn't one of them so it's not a problem for us.

Chris.

Subject: [jetty-dev] Jetty, OSGi, p2 and the Eclipse release repo

Jetty recently dropped out of the eclipse release train for a variety
of factors.  There has been a fair amount of back and forth on this
decision on this thread :
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/rt-pmc/threads.html#03096

I wanted to ask the dev and users lists of there is anyone out there
that is consuming out of the eclipse release repo to get jetty or
needs to in the future.

As it stands there are a handful of projects on the release train that
will consume jetty so some subset of our bundles will appear in the
eclipse release train, however it is a subset and is not everything
that we would put in our own p2 repository.  It will also not be the
latest releases of jetty, nor will they update over time...they will
be locked in at particular points in history.  What I am trying to
gauge is the importance of specifically the eclipse release repository
to our users.  We will continue to provide a p2 repository for jetty-8
and eventually jetty-9 regardless.  Personally, I think that is
someone is using jetty and they require a p2 repository to get it out
of they would be more interested in consuming from our composite p2
repository where they are assured  access to the latest versions of
jetty as they are released...but I could be wrong not being an
osgiphile myself.

so...if you consume from the eclipse release repository and really
want jetty to participate fully in it please speak up!

cheers,
jesse
