David Truong 7 Years Ago Hi Geert,You are correct in the the CLI tools like Blade and BND are currently geared more towards Gradle but I believe you can definitely have a well functioning environment running exclusively using only Maven.We have started many 7.0 projects that are exclusively using Maven. The only issue they have found right now are with theme building and archetypes which we hope to address by the end of this quarter.In terms of dependency management, it is not an issue with Maven but more of an issue with OSGi as you now have to deal with dependencies twice (once in your pom.xml and once in your bnd file). We have to deal with this also when using Gradle.While it may seem like a chore to do double work, it really does help ensure that each module is independent from each other as much as possible and we feel that is worth the trade off along with all the other benefits of OSGi.The bndtools handles this most seamlessly but is gradle based.Please feel free to send me more feedback on your Maven development.Thanks,Dave Please sign in to reply.
