Re: [Geotools-devel] OSGi: first simple example with referencing factories working

[whatnick <ti...@el...>]

Hi Mathieu,

The same package in multiple modules is a classic OSGi problem called the
"split package" issue. The bnd tool provides some directives to mark
exported packages as split across multiple bundles leaving giving the
runtime classloader the chance resolve classes in these packages across
bundles.

-http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Format

Basically marking exported packages as split and merging them in client
bundles using require-bundle directive. This is pretty messy and hopefully
will not result in cyclic dependency issues.

Thanks for the great work so far.

Cheers,

Tisham.
