Re: [Geotools-gt2-users] geotools library as an OSGI plugin

[Jody G. <jod...@gm...>]

Hi Chad:

I would love to have GeoTools issue OSGi plugins out of the box; "all" we need is someone to do the work. There is an outstanding proposal describing the work here:
- http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Add+bundle+information+to+jar+manifest

I did add some stuff to net.refractions.udig.libs that configured GeoTools for use. If you can tell me how to do that just with OSGi callbacks I would be happy to make the change.

Specifically I want to feed some additional EPSG codes into gt-referencing and set a few other switches on the GeoTools class.

Other than that you can just package it up yourself; using a single OSGi plugin for all of the GeoTools jars (so that the java plugin system does not run into classpath trouble).

I was working in Eclipse with uDig hoping that since uDig imported all the geotools stuff automatically that i could incorporate that set of libraries with my custom OSGI builds into one web service(instead of using glassfish). Turns out that the OSGI plugins that you get with uDig are specific to eclipse(wondering why) so taking anything outside of eclipse(like as a web service on a linux box) seems to be not doable.
