OSGi spec interfaces in karaf.main

[cschneider]

Hi all,

I wondered why so main karaf modules depend on the karaf.main module. I
found that karaf.main contains the sources for the OSGi core spec.

Why do we have these sources in our code? Shouldn´t we just depend on
the official package or at least only inline it during the build? If
there is a good reason then I would like to document it in the
architecture decisions page in the wiki.

didn't we changed it because of the 1.4 build problem with java 7?

Kind regards,
Andreas

I wondered this myself.

EIK actually strips out the OSGi classes from the karaf.main so it
does not interfere with the running Karaf instance. I also noticed
that the OSGi interfaces have to be on the boot classpath in addition
to the system bundle.

Yes, it's the reason why we did like this.

Can you give some more details? I would like to document this and we
should also define when we should be able to remove the sources again.
