Run myapp.bndrun from maven

[Florian Pirchner]

I am contributing an OS-Project (vaadin osgi). And we need to use a combination with bndtools and maven. Setting up the project was pretty straight forward and works well...

My question:

Is there a way to run the OSGi container defined in the bndrun file from maven?

Like "mvn clean verify bnd:run"

I know there is the bnd-export-plugin. And this jar is executed by the EmbeddedLauncher.

But is there also a way to run the application directly from commandline with maven?

How can i do so?

Thanks,

Florian

In 3.4 we have added a bnd-testing-maven-plugin to run a framework for testing purposes. We have also added function to the gradle plugin to run bndrun files. But I don't think we have a maven plugin to run bndrun files absent testing.

You may want to look at the work mentioned above and consider contributing a bnd-run-maven-plugin.

Hey bj,

gradle sounds interesting. I know that gradle is pretty powerful. but never came in touch.

And having a bnd-run-maven plugin would be great too. I will try to implement one based on the testing plugin ;)

Thanks a lot for input

See https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/blob/master/biz.aQute.bnd.gradle/src/aQute/bnd/gradle/BndPlugin.groovy#L532-L534 for the logic in the gradle plugin to run a bndrun file.

Right now I opened the gradle website to learn :D
