Introduction
ApacheDS is scheduled to offer OSGi capability around the June 2007 timeframe.
...
- Document packages - Start documenting all our packages in all our projects with package-info.java files.
- Analyze dependencies - Refactor to improve coupling.
- Resolve obstacles - Track the status of obstacles to moving to OSGi to reduce the risk of making a bad container choice. See the "Obstacles" table, below.
Obstacle
Status
Move antlr wrapper from 'jconlon osgi-commons' to Felix.
Move commons-collections wrapper from 'jconlon osgi-commons' to Felix.
Move commons-lang wrapper from 'jconlon osgi-commons' to Felix.

Clean-up, doco, and enhancements to the protocols (Kerberos, etc.).
Config Admin migration from ServiceBinder.
Prefs migration from ServiceBinder.
User Admin migration from ServiceBinder.
Migrate Config Admin service from Apache Directory to Apache Felix.
Migrate Prefs service from Apache Directory to Apache Felix.
Migrate User Admin service from Apache Directory to Apache Felix.
Code Config Admin service to use Metatype Service.
Assign OID for use with ADS config admin client modules, in JIRA.
Re-design Config Admin schema (split from apache.schema, assign own OID range).
Doco the dynamic DIT-backed service config for the protocol providers.
Doco the catalog system for DNS zones.
Doco the catalog system for Kerberos realms.
A bundle or bundles to offer the Mina libraries (DIRMINA-27)
Roll out bundles to little-used protocol providers.

Non-snapshot Felix bundle plugin released and deployed to Ibiblio.
Bug fix in Maven when using multiple plugins.
Finish key enterprise features the server needs first.
Find/build an integration testing framework to easily test services within the target container as part of the maven build process.
Achieve good test coverage, testing the ApacheDS services inside an OSGi container (requires integration testing framework).
Solid documentation in Confluence for OSGi-based architecture for ApacheDS.
Solid documentation in Confluence for running the ApacheDS OSGi build.
Greater team awareness of this OSGi based architecture.
Review OSGi alternatives like xbean.
Possibly wait for a Spring-OSGi release.
Time for us all to be involved to make sure something does not go wrong during this move to OSGi.
Roll out bundles to core artifacts, LDAP, and Kerberos.
- Add OSGi metadata - Add the maven-bundle-plugin to our pom.xml files, one by one, to generate bundle jars with OSGi metadata.
- Use container - Switch 'server-main' to use Apache Felix, update installers, etc.
- Future enhancements - TBD, major functionality improvements taking full advantage of OSGi dynamics.
