<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The org.apache.felix.scrplugin.bnd.SCRDescriptorBndPlugin is a bnd plugin allowing to generate SCR annotations and metatype descriptors in the Eclipse BndTools environment.
This page describes how to install the plugin in BndTools and also provides a simple tutorial, which won&#8217;t be very fascinating, but will make it easy to demonstrate the use of Apache SCR annotations within BndTools.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you are not yet familiar with BndTools or if you have not already installed it, you can take a look at <a href="http://bndtools.org/">BndTools homepage</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This tutorial has been made with Eclipse Kepler and with the latest BndTools development version.
It is assumed that the eclipse workspace is currently set to ~/workspace/BNDTOOLS</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Create the cnf project</strong>:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the BndTools "cnf" project does not already exist in your workspace, then create it:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>In the Eclipse Windows menu, click on Preference -&gt; BndTools OSGi</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click on "Configuration Project/Check Now".
This will create the "cnf" bndtools project.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Compile the SCR annotations bnd plugin and copy it in cnf project</strong>:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Now you have to copy the SCR annotations bnd plugin into the cnf project of your current workspace ("BNDTOOLS" in this example).
For now, the plugin is not yet released, but you can build it yourself like this:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-sh hljs" data-lang="sh"> $ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/scrplugin scrplugin
$ cd scrplugin
$ mvn clean install
$ mkdir ~/workspace/BNDTOOLS/cnf/plugins/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd/
$ cp scrplugin/bnd-scr-plugin/target/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT.jar ~/workspace/BNDTOOLS/cnf/plugins/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd/</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>Configure the default BndTools plugin path</strong>:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In order to let BndTools load the SCR annotations bnd plugin, you can configure the default BndTools plugin path:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>First, if you have not yet opened the BndTools perspective, then open it: go to Window Menu -&gt; Open Perspective -&gt; BndTools.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Now, in BndTools menu, click on "BndTools Open ext/pluginpaths.bnd", then click on "Source" and append the SCR bnd plugin (${plugin-dir}/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT.jar) to the current plugin path.
For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>-pluginpath: ${plugin-dir}/biz.aQute.repository/biz.aQute.repository-2.1.0.jar, \
${plugin-dir}/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You have installed the SCR annotations bnd plugin in Eclipse BndTools, and you can now start using it (see the following Tutorial).</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<h2 id="_tutorial"><a class="anchor" href="#_tutorial"></a>Tutorial</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In this tutorial, we&#8217;ll create a "greeting" project, which provides a simple Greeting service with a "sayHello" method, and the implementation will use the Apache Felix SCR annotations:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>From the File menu, select New -&gt; Bndtools OSGi Project for creating an empty project, and call it "greeting".</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Then click on bnd.bnd file of the greeting project, then click on Source, and add the following (and then save the file)</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>-buildpath: ${plugin-dir}/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd/org.apache.felix.scr.bnd-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;version=file
-plugin: org.apache.felix.scrplugin.bnd.SCRDescriptorBndPlugin
Private-Package: greeting.impl
Export-Package: greeting.api</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Create the greeting.api.Greeting interface:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java">package greeting.api;
public interface Greeting {
void sayHello(String name);
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And create the greeting.impl.GreetingImpl class:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java">package greeting.impl;
import greeting.api.Greeting;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Activate;

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Service;
@Component(immediate=true)
@Service
public class GreetingImpl implements Greeting {
@Activate
private void start() {
System.out.println("Starting Greeting Service");
}
@Override
public void sayHello(String name) {
System.out.println("Hello " + name);
}
}</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Now, click on bnd.bnd and rebuild the project.
you have created your first bndtools project using SCR annotations.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Create a Run descriptor (call it "run") with Apache Felix 4 With Gogo Shell.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In Run requirement, add the greeting project, as well as Apache Felix SCR from Bnd HUB.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Then Run the project: you should see in the console the "Starting Greeting Service" message displayed from the start() method.</p>
</div>

<h2 id="_plugin_options"><a class="anchor" href="#_plugin_options"></a>Plugin Options</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>You can possibly add some optional parameters in the plugin bnd directive (each one separated by a semicolon).
For example:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>-plugin: org.apache.felix.scrplugin.bnd.SCRDescriptorBndPlugin;log=debug;generateAccessors=false</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Here is the list of options:</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong><code>log</code></strong> + <em>Required</em>: No + <em>Default</em>: <code>warn</code> + The plugin enabled log level.
You can select either one of "error", "warn", "info", or "debug".
Plugin logs are written in ${java.io.tmpdir}/scrplugin/BSN.log (BSN is the Bundle Symbolic Name of the bundle being analyzed by the plugin).</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong><code>destdir</code></strong> + <em>Required</em>: No + <em>Default</em>: <code>bin</code> + The name of the directory where the descriptor files are generated into.
This is also used as the directory where the compiled classes are generated by bndtools.</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong><code>generateAccessors</code></strong> + <em>Required</em>: No + <em>Default</em>: <code>true</code> + If this switch is turned on, the bind and unbind methods for unary references are automatically generated by the plugin.</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong><code>strictMode</code></strong> + <em>Required</em>: No + <em>Default</em>: <code>false</code> + If set to true, a warning will be considered as an error and the build will fail with warnings generated by this task.</p>
</div>
<hr>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong><code>specVersion</code></strong> + <em>Required</em>: No + <em>Default</em>:&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;+ The plugin will generate a descriptor for the Declarative Service version (e.g.
1.0, 1.1, or 1.2).
If no value is specified, the plugin will detect the version and only use 1.1 if features from this version are used.</p>
