I've posted a set of draft requirements for modularity in the Scala space:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.scala.internals/1104

It would be good if those using this pattern for building Scala applications using Maven and the maven-scala-plugin could add their thoughts.

Very useful post. Thanks!

In my case, maven-scala-plugin complained for the missing dependency on scala-library. I had to manually move it from provisioning/pom.xml to the parent pom.xml.

I used Maven 2.2.1 and Scala 2.7.5.

I'd like to add that using org.scala-lang-osgi is necessary. Furthermore, setting the scalaVersion was not needed for me (the plugin now retrieves the version from the library dependency).

The scala plugin complains about a missing scalaVe...

The scala plugin complains about a missing scalaVersion. This is easily fixed by changing the plugin config to add:

[configuration]
[scalaVersion]2.7.2[/scalaVersion]
[/configuration]

Change square to angle brackets. Sorry I couldnt paste the whole thing or format it right but blogger seems to have massive brain damage right about now.

Thanks Dan!

It actually works either way but I agree that I should stick with org.scala-lang-osgi for consistency. I've updated the post.

Hi Brian,

This walkthrough was terrific, thanks for doing it.

I think that there is an accidental use of org.scala-lang rather than org.scala-lang-osgi just below where is says "gets tweaked to add"...

Very nice article, looking forward to the version that includes Spring DM.

Great works!

But I think if we use groovy in this pattern, does it mean that we only introduce another language syntax than using its dynamic feature. We have to compile the groovy scripts, bundle the jar then restart the program.

How could OSGi system enable edit and run is a funny problem.

@mcculls

Thanks!

I generally use the scripts directly but I decided to go a strict maven route thinking that it might make the article more approachable since there's nothing else to download...it all just magically works :)

Nice article... btw, we also provide Windows/Unix scripts to make creating projects/bundles even easier:

http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct/so:

mvn org.ops4j:maven-pax-plugin:create-project -DgroupId=com.domain.osgi -DartifactId=helloworld -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT

becomes:

pax-create-project -g com.domain.osgi -a helloworld -v 1.0-SNAPSHOT

or you can just type:

pax-create-project

hit return and you'll get prompted for any mandatory configuration options, one by one
