development improvements

SNAPSHOT deployments

• Info: GH action for clean-up of closed PRs p2 repos
• Discussion: Docu for ´How to test a snapshot?´ (manual or via oomph)
• Discussion: Should contributed PRs be deployed on artifactory see CI builds - attached artifacts

Potential ENHANCEMENTS

• OSGi/Eclipse preference persistence for added fragment URLs
• caching for expensive resolutions e.g. whole repository
• Resolution view enhancements
  • enable multiple resolution views (with scoped selections)
  • allow detailed visible selection, like in bndrun editor Run requirements section
    • section Browse Repos -> Capability Selection on top instead of the one liner (may be expandable one liner)
    • Add / Add All / Remove / Remove All buttons

Questions/Open issues

• Eclipse Pref -> Bndtools -> Explorer ? Purpose? Text field not visible -> Eclipse workspace name
• Github Project Budget -> Co-Pilot Agents are provided on user-based billings

Documentation improvements (maybe AI supported generation)

Testing

multiple dimensions to consider

• different tools JUnit, OSGi JUnit, Launchpad
• different tool version JUnit 3, 4, 5, 6 - focus on >5
• Eclipse bndtools, bnd cli, gradle, maven based executions
• efficient, maintainable dependency handling for the scenarios

current documentation is confusing e.g.

• https://bnd.discourse.group/t/osgi-service-testing/459/10
• https://bnd.bndtools.org/chapters/310-testing.html
• https://bnd.bndtools.org/chapters/315-launchpad-testing.html
• https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/issues/6645

Brief documentation on following concepts

• Bnd workspace vs standalone usage
• Workpspace templates
• Template Repositories
• Augmenting (development/resolvement time only)?
