Embed Third party dependency using bnd-maven-plugin

This post explains the use of bnd-maven-plugin to embed third party dependency 

bnd-maven-plugin

Two main instructions of bnd-maven-plugin that serves the purpose are detailed below. 

  • -conditionalpackage 
    • pick packages from respective library and copy them in the bundle. Any dependencies of those copied packages will also be copied if they match the selectors.
    • This means we need to explicitly list all the Java package names of desired dependency as part of this instruction (including its transitive dependencies)
    • More about conditionalpackage instruction from official docs - https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/conditionalpackage.html
  • -includeresource 
    • For including resource inline
      • -includeresource: @artifactId-version.jar!/*
    • For embedding as a jar with an entry in bundle class path
      • -includeresource: artifactId-version.jar;lib:=true
    • For several other possible combinations for including the resource, please check - https://bnd.bndtools.org/instructions/includeresource.html
With complete understanding on these two instructions from official docs + based on how we would like the dependency to be included, we can use any one of the instruction with its respective options accordingly. 

Sample plugin entry for the dependency jackson-dataformat-csv (Supports reading and writing CSV)
where ${jackson-dataformat-csv.version} in the instruction resolves to a maven property holding the artifact version (2.9.5) as defined in parent pom.xml.
  • conditionalpackage
  • includeresource inline
  • includeresource embed (as a jar with class path entry)

Embedding Third party dependency/OSGi bundle in AEM application hosted in AEMasCS

This post illustrate the ways of embedding third party dependency in AEM maven project. Steps are mentioned considering the project structure to be followed for AEMasCS while the same can be followed for classic versions too.  Before we begin, I would like to explain the scenario of including a dependency in our AEM maven project.  When we would like to make use of an API that is not already available in our project, we look for that in maven-central repository and specify the dependency in main pom.xml and desired module's pom.xml file. (Lets say, AWS S3 Java SDK V2 dependency) Upon updating the project in the IDE, we would see our class files (making use of those APIs) are compiled/build successfully without any errors.  Now, in the context of AEM/OSGi environment, when the same package and hence the bundle is deployed to AEM instance, dependencies that we added new might not be resolved/available in the OSGi as a bundle. Something like the below This indicates that the added dep

OSGI Factory Configuration implementation

OSGI Factory configuration is used to have many instances of an OSGI config (represented/identified via an identifier) for the single OSGI service/PID. Most often used OOB Factory configurations for example: Logger Factory/writer configuration (for log statements) Service user Mapper service Amendment (for using service resource resolver in projects) Few sample real time use case for the need of OSGI factory config: For multi tenant projects, if we have generic service used across tenants with properties/attributes specific to tenant. For single tenant, generic service targeting all locales with properties/attributes specific to locale. (where generic service -> holds logic in the lines of calling third party service for retrieving/updating information.) Implementation: ( In terms of OSGI R6 annotations ): Create Object Class Definition(OCD) defining desired properties for the OSGI service. - OSGIFactoryConfigOCD.java OSGI Service/Factory service to retrieve
