This document is based on:
- Eclipse 3.4 (LUNA)
- Tycho 0.20.0
We must first ensure that you have installed Tycho on Eclipse. If not installed you can see the instructions here:
First we create an OSGi project quickly accordance usual way.
Enter:
- Version: 2.0.0.qualifier
- Activator: org.o7planning.tutorial.simpleosgi.Activator
Add:
- org.eclipse.osgi
- org.eclipse.equinox.console
- org.apache.felix.gogo.command
- org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime
- org.apache.felix.gogo.shell
Activator.java
package org.o7planning.tutorial.simpleosgi;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;
public class Activator implements BundleActivator {
private static BundleContext context;
static BundleContext getContext() {
return context;
}
public void start(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
Activator.context = bundleContext;
System.out.println("SimpleOSGi Started");
}
public void stop(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
Activator.context = null;
System.out.println("SimpleOSGi Stopped");
}
}
We'll quickly configure and run this OSGi, to see that the status of the OSGi just created is good.
Right-click on the Project SimpleOSGi, select "Run As / Run Configuration .."
Running OSGi, and get successful results.
Next we will quick create Maven Project. Goals for the future, we will build 2 project (SimpleOSGi & SimpleMaven) with Maven & Tycho. And see that both project to be treated equally.
CheckNumeric.java
package org.o7planning.tutorial.simplemaven;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;
public class CheckNumeric {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String text1 = "0123a4";
String text2 = "01234";
boolean result1 = StringUtils.isNumeric(text1);
boolean result2 = StringUtils.isNumeric(text2);
System.out.println(text1 + " is a numeric? " + result1);
System.out.println(text1 + " is a numeric? " + result2);
}
}

The purpose of this project to configure Maven & Tycho to build two projects (SimpleOSGi & SimpleMaven).
Create a common Java Project
First we convert SimpleOSGi into Maven Project. SimpleOSGi will be a Maven plugin and OSGi Project
Project has been converted into a Maven project, and have error message, you do not need to worry about that.
Note that if your OSGi Project configure version is AAA and suffix is qualifier, then on Maven you must also configure in the pom.xml file have version AAA and the suffix is SNAPSHOT. Like the illustration below.
Open the pom.xml file and reconfigure as follows:
SimpleOSGi/pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<artifactId>MavenParent</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<relativePath>../MavenParent/pom.xml</relativePath>

</project>
Open pom.xml file on Project SimpleMaven and add the following code:
**
