Support hiding myfaces impl classes in osgi, and provide a single osgi bundle
for api + impl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-2976
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2976
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extension Feature
Affects Versions: 2.0.3-SNAPSHOT
Reporter: David Jencks
The current osgi solution of using require-bundle between the api and impl jars
is generally thought of as osgi worst-practice and just doesn't work with
snapshot versions (presumably a bug in the bundle plugin).
Also this does not easily support hiding the impl classes.
Geronimo would like to use a single bundle containing both api and impl and
hide the impl classes as much as possible. This requires some slight
modifications to the FactoryFinder so that impl classes can be loaded from the
same classloader as FactoryFinder if they are not visible to the context class
loader.
I think myfaces would be the best place for this combined bundle but geronimo
can build it if necessary. The FactoryFinder classloader changes are therefore
more important.
I've suggested a module name which maps to the bundle symbolic name well, as
this seems to be the preferred maven/osgi strategy at apache.
