Karaf / Maven - Unable to resolve: missing requirement osgi.wiring.package

gc5 picture gc5 · May 27, 2015 · Viewed 86.3k times · Source

I am unable to start a bundle in Karaf (version 3.0.1).

The bundle is built using maven and it imports gson.

I included gson in maven as required:

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
     <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
     <version>2.3.1</version>
</dependency>

The build goes fine. However, when deploying the bundle I receive this Warning from Karaf:

2015-05-27 12:45:07,371 | WARN  | 49-19-bin/deploy | fileinstall                      | 11 - org.apache.felix.fileinstall - 3.2.8 | Error while starting bundle: file:/Users/user/Documents/tools/MyBundle-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

at org.apache.felix.fileinstall.internal.DirectoryWatcher.run(DirectoryWatcher.java:308)[11:org.apache.felix.fileinstall:3.2.8]

The bundle is not installed.

The Import-Package in the MANIFEST.MF begins with:

Import-Package: com.google.gson;version="[2.3,3)"

I tried to change it with:

Import-Package: com.google.code.gson;version="[2.3,3)"

But it gives me a similar error:

missing requirement [121.13] osgi.wiring.package; (&(osgi.wiring.package=com.google.code.gson)

The MANIFEST.MF of Google GSON (the version maven downloads when I build the bundle) is:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Export-Package: com.google.gson;version=2.3.1, com.google.gson.annotat
 ions;version=2.3.1, com.google.gson.reflect;version=2.3.1, com.google

I also tried with

            <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>

                    <Embed-Dependency>*</Embed-Dependency>
                    <Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>
                </instructions>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

            <configuration>
                <skipTests>${skipTests}</skipTests>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Now the dependencies are embedded but Karaf cannot start the bundle.

I believe you have two options here.

If you have Import-Package: com.google.gson;version="[2.3,3)" in your MANIFEST.MF, this means that you want some package to be imported from a deployed bundle, not from an embedded jar. In this case, you should first deploy gson-2.3.1.jar bundle (copy this file to the deploy folder), and then deploy your bundle.

If you want to embed the gson library as a simple non-OSGi jar dependency, this also can be done, but then you have to exclude its packages from Import-Package:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
            <instructions>
                <Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
                <Import-Package>!com.google.gson,*</Import-Package>
                <Embed-Dependency>gson</Embed-Dependency>
            </instructions>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
