Is it possible to have multiple OSGI bundles in 1 project? If yes, how?

[jayv25585659]

As above.

as an example: I want to have  2 bundles ((com.myhost.www.core1 and com.myhost.www.core2) in my project. This means if I go to /system/console/bundles, both core1 and core2 are listed.

-------

from what I understand, the OSGI bundle is basically the jar version of the core folder.

Thanks

Hi @jayv25585659 

Yes, it is possible to have multiple OSGi bundles in one project. Kindly follow below steps to achieve as per your above requirement

1. Typically create separate maven projects next to the core maven project
                                                      OR
   Copy core module paste parallel to core and rename to core2, do change in pom.xml accordingly.

<parent> 
    <groupId>training</groupId> 
    <artifactId>training</artifactId> 
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> 
    <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath> 
</parent> 
<artifactId>com.myhost.www.core2</artifactId> 
<packaging>bundle</packaging> 
<name>AEM Training OSGI - Core 2</name> 
<description>Core bundle for training</description>

2.Embed it to ui.apps pom.xml 

<embedded>
    <groupId>training</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.myhost.www.core2</artifactId>
    <target>/apps/training/install</target> 
</embedded>

3. Add dependency to ui.apps pom.xml 

<dependency>
    <groupId>training</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.myhost.www.core2</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

To understand in details, how can it be done please visit my blog here https://www.techinnovia.com/package-import-and-export/ where I have created multiple bundles in one single project as shown in below picture.













Also would suggest you to go through this https://youtu.be/flIp_1o4Nt0 video clip (belongs to same article) for better understanding.

Hope that helps you!

Yes, You can have bundles with same Symbolic Name and different versions. You can have in parallel. But what is your use case. What are you trying to achieve with 2 bundles.
