I'm new to OSGI (sorry) and having a few issues trying to deploy my package and related dependencies.
This is my POM:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Then I'm bundling this using the Maven command:
mvn org.apache.felix:maven-bundle-plugin:bundleall
This is successful and generates my bundle as well as 3 dependency bundles:
This seems OK and I can install and start the first two but when I try and start slf4j I get the following exception:
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Unable to resolve slf4j.api [25](R 25.0): missing requirement [slf4j.api [25](R 25.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (&(osgi.wiring.package=org.slf4j.impl)(version>=1.6.0)) Unresolved requirements: [[slf4j.api [25](R 25.0)] osgi.wiring.package; (&(osgi.wiring.package=org.slf4j.impl)(version>=1.6.0))]
I'm pretty sure I'm missing something very simple but can't pin it down. Any help would be much appreciated!
Slf4j has an unusual design (some might say a bad design, ahem). It is an API bundle that depends on an implementation package, namely org.slf4j.impl
.
You need to install an additional bundle that implements the Slf4j API. There are lots of choices here... for example slf4j-simple
is a basic implementation, whereas slf4j-jdk14
uses the Java 1.4 java.util.logging
back end, etc.
Logback also contains an implementation of the API.
