Hey there,
I am facing a problem that I don't find much discussion about online.
Here is the setup:
We have a client server application. The server will provide a
SOAP interface which the client will trigger.
The web-service implementation is done via Apache CXF.
Basically, both server and client have a set of dependencies that they both share (e.g. JAXB and domain classes).
Now, the server project is set up with
maven, the client is a RCP project.
The question is how to set up a deployment mechanism to integrate maven dependencies with the Eclipse RCP Target Platform.
I found the Apache Felix project to be a first step (it offers a maven plugin that turns a maven project into an OSGI bundle) but still the deployment cycle is somewhat cumbersome. I would have to update the target platform, make sure all old bundles are removed and replaced, make sure they don't conflict etc. etc.
Maybe somebody already has some experience on this.
Thanks
