Motivation:
It is good to have used dependencies and plugins up-to-date to fix any undiscovered bug fixed by the authors.
Modification:
Scanned dependencies and plugins and carefully updated one by one.
Result:
Dependencies and plugins are up-to-date.
Motivation:
See https://github.com/netty/netty-build/issues/5
Modifications:
Add xml-maven-plugin to check indentation and fix violations
Result:
pom.xml will be checked in the PR build
Motivation:
Release 4.0.25 was not usable in OSGi environments due to a simple typo.
An automated test could have caught the problem even before it was
committed.
Modifications:
This patch introduces a new artifact, osgitests, which pulls in all
production artifacts (which we want to be checked for OSGi compliance).
It contains only a single unit test, which runs a pax-exam container
with felix OSGi.
At initialization time, it scans all the artifact's dependencies,
looking for things belonging to io.netty group. The container is
configured to deploy those artifacts as bundles and fail if any bundle
is found to be unresolved. It performs a final check to see if any
bundles were tested this way, to make sure the mechanism is not
completely broken.
We are using wrappedBundle(), as two of our third-party dependencies do
not export packages correctly -- this masks the problem, assuming that
whoever deploys our artifacts depending on them will figure out how to
OSGify them.
Result:
Simple typos and other bundle manifest errors should be caught during
test phase of every build.
- Fixes#2003 properly
- Instead of using 'bundle' packaging, use 'jar' packaging. This is
more robust because some strict build tools fail to retrieve the
artifacts from a Maven repository unless their packaging is not 'jar'.
- All artifacts now contain META-INF/io.netty.version.properties, which
provides the detailed information about the build and repository.
- Removed OSGi testsuite temporarily because it gives false errors
during split package test and examination.
- Add io.netty.util.Version for easy retrieval of version information
