AW: [Aperture-devel] [smila-dev] aperture bundles for smila integration

OK, we can do this. What about the bundle/jar names ?

In osgi it's good practice to use the reverse domain name as bundle
symbolic name (e.g. org.jempbox.xmp) and also for the bundle file name
concatenated with the version by an _ (e.g. org.jempbox.xmp_0.2.0.jar).

Is this ok for aperture (adopting names of jars in build scripts etc.)?

I will contact the guys from PDFBox to see if they are willing to do a
release.
But then there are still dependencies to jai jars, which are not EPL
compatible.

Bye,
