## Description: Apache Felix is a project aimed at implementing specifications from the OSGi Alliance as well as implementing other supporting tools and technologies aligned with OSGi technology. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing, with low activity. Issues for the board: none. ## Membership Data: Apache Felix was founded 2007-03-28 (17 years ago) There are currently 68 committers and 27 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:4. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Georg Henzler on 2019-06-10. - No new committers. Last addition was Robert Munteanu on 2020-07-20. ## Project Activity: - Existing implementations have been improved/enhanced based on community feedback. - Released 11 components. Mostly bug fixes/minor improvements but most are related to the move to the Jakarta API. ### Releases - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-4.2.26 was released on 2024-03-04. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-5.1.10 was released on 2024-03-04. - org.apache.felix.http.base-4.2.14 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.base-5.1.6 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.bridge-4.2.18 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.bridge-5.1.6 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-4.2.24 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-5.1.8 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty12-1.0.2 was released on 2024-01-26. - org.apache.felix.cm.json-2.0.6 was released on 2024-01-18. - org.apache.felix.webconsole-5.0.0 was released on 2024-01-08. ## Community Health: - Overall the project is in ok health with little ongoing activity. - There is a decline in community activity and in general, we don't see a lot of new development right now. We are at the lookout for new topics and contributors. - We need to work with the PMC members to make sure they are subscribed to the private list and still present. - Questions on the user list are answered, development concerns are either discussed on the mailing list or directly in the JIRA issues. - We had no issues voting on releases and JIRA issues are generally addressed.

Last addition was Robert Munteanu on 2020-07-20. ## Project Activity: - Existing implementations have been improved/enhanced based on community feedback. - We retired quite some components that have not seen activity in years. - The http subproject move to the Jakarta API (away from javax.*) is basically done. - We got some contributions and activity around iPOJO again so we took it out of retirement and cut a new release (mostly porting to Java 17). - Released 15 components. Some are bug fixes/minor improvements but most are related to the move to the Jakarta API. ### Releases - Apache Felix iPOJO Manipulator 1.13.0 was released on 2023-12-08. - org.apache.felix.cm.json-2.0.4 was released on 2023-11-21. - org.apache.felix.cm.json-2.0.2 was released on 2023-11-09. - org.apache.felix.http.bridge-4.2.14 was released on 2023-11-06. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-4.2.20 was released on 2023-11-04. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-5.1.4 was released on 2023-11-04. - org.apache.felix.webconsole-4.9.6 was released on 2023-10-07. - org.apache.felix.http.base-5.1.2 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.http.bridge-5.1.2 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.http.jetty-5.1.2 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.http.servlet-api-3.0.0 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.http.wrappers-1.0.2 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.http.wrappers-1.1.2 was released on 2023-10-02. - org.apache.felix.healthcheck.core-2.2.0 was released on 2023-09-16. - org.apache.felix.http.wrappers-1.1.0 was released on 2023-09-16. ## Community Health: - Overall the project is in ok health with little ongoing activity. - There is a decline in community activity and in general, we don't see a lot of new development right now. We are at the lookout for new topics and contributors. - After reducing our surface area by retiring components that haven't seen activity in while (see last report), we did see some requests and contributions for iPOJO again - hence, we moved it back and cut a release. Hopefully this will result in new contributors. - Questions on the user list are answered, development concerns are either discussed on the mailing list or directly in the JIRA issues. - We had no issues voting on releases and JIRA issues are generally addressed.

The community was split between allowing the version number to be reused on the subsequent release versus disallowing it. Since there was no consensus, we decided to not enforce a policy and simply let the person performing the release decide.
Greg: My recommendation is that if a tarball is released for evaluation under a specific release version, then burn the number if it goes wrong. Otherwise, you will always question "did you get the right x.y.z tarball? was that the early-eval tarball?" Version numbers are CHEAP. The RM can recreate a tarball for a specific version as often as needed, but once it is made available: burn the number if needed. Please consider joining the release managers mailing list. release-discuss@

* Regarding the issue raised in last board report of how to handle
provisional OSGi API in Felix bundles, we have decided for now
that the best approach is to avoid it and use our own parallel API
structure or subclassing where appropriate. Our provisional OSGi
API policy is documented at
http://felix.apache.org/site/provisional-osgi-api-policy.html in
our developer documentation.

* Karaf subproject promoted to TLP.
* Need to have discussion on how to handle provisional OSGi APIs in our
releases. It is not clear if we should include provisional OSGi API
since it is not officially released by the OSGi Alliance and is
therefore subject to change and/or not always officially sanctioned
(i.e., made publicly available by the OSGi Alliance). At a minimum, we
need to define an approach to informing users if provisional API is
included that it is not [yet] official OSGi API.

map for officially releasing more subprojects. The general
consensus is that we really need to start working on releases of
all reasonably stable subprojects. Hopefully, this will start to
happen over the next month or two.
* Peter Kriens announced his desire to donate his FileInstall
bundle; the paperwork has been started, but an official vote is
needed.
* Karl Pauls announced that he was able to get Felix working on
Google's Android, see his blog^
<http://blog.luminis.nl/luminis/entry/osgi_on_google_android_using>;

Licensing and other issues
* The paperwork for Peter Kriens' grant was incorrectly recorded
(his name, the company name, and the donated code were all
misspelled), so we are trying to get that fixed.
* Need to finalize OSGi TCK access by getting OSGi Alliance TCK
license executed by the board, I would assume.
Geir to follow up with Richard to see if there is any synergy between the JCP work and the OSGi work, and to coordinate obtaining the TCK for JSR 291.

Felix is an implementation of the OSGi R4 service platform. Community * The community is working toward incubator gradution. * Continued organization of the wiki (and generated web site), creating the subproject documentation section with new documentation on for various subprojects, including a placeholder for the Felix Commons initiative. * Voted Karl Pauls as Release Manager. * Community voted on and released Felix 0.8.0-incubator. * A Felix-related talk was given at ApacheCon 2006 in Austin, Texas. * We have seen an apparent influx of new community members based on some new faces being active on the mailing list and even a new contributor (Chris Custine). * Emil Ivov announced the 1.0-alpha1 release of SIP Communicator, a Felix-based multi-protocol instant messenger and SIP software phone. Software * Felix 0.8.0-incubator approved by the Incubator PMC and is available for download. * Felix Commons initiative started in earnest with the goal of creating bundles out of popular open source libraries, headed by Enrique Rodriguez. John Conlon submitted several POM files for various libraries and Felix Meschberger and Tim Moloney have also expressed interest in doing so. * Several patches from Felix Meschberger improving the framework's ability to be used in embedded use cases, particularly issues surrounding framework shutdown and clean up. * Created a new Maven 2 plugin for creating OSGi bundles, which uses the BND tool from Peter Kriens. This plugin is quite a bit different than the existing plugin, but the goal is to try to merge the two if possible. * Major patch to iPOJO by Clement Escoffier. * Initial prototyping of "require bundle" functionality complete in Richard Hall's sandbox, work has begun to transition to trunk. * Patch submitted by Chris Custine to implement bundle manifest header localization. * Patch submitted by Kamen Petroff to allow additional imports to be specified for the old Maven plugin. * Rick Litton worked with the Eclipse community to get their extension point mechanism working on Felix, this effort will continue as bundle localization and require-bundle capabilities are added to Felix. Licensing and other isses * Committed latest OSGi Alliance source code, which is the official release licensed under the Apache license. * Committed OSGi Alliance Foundation source code (licensed under the Apache license), which provides stubs for javax.microedition.io, so that we can compile everything again. * A patch from Felix Meschberger for the URL Handlers service was put on hold since it was not clear if their were any licensing implications as a result of its inspiration from Equinox code. The patch/functionality is targeted to be resolved for the 1.0.0 release. ----
Upayavira says "Felix progresses well as a community, increasing in maturity, and I believe that Felix is nearly ready to graduate. In preparation for that we have been going over the relevant issues: auditing licensing of code and libraries, porting non-ASF services onto ASF hardware (a Confluence wiki) and improving our public website." Other details: Community: * Stephane Frenot was added as a committer. * Defined and accepted Felix community roles and processes document. * Working with Maven community to get OSGi packaging features into the Maven core with the involvement of Jason van Zyl and Peter Kriens. * Announced "Felix Commons" initiative for bundling common libraries for use in the OSGi framework. * Working on and nearing completion of various graduation tasks, such as license verification. Code: * iPOJO project contribution which uses byte code instrumentation to enable POJOs to be used in an OSGi environment and to simplify OSGi development. * Event Admin standard OSGi R4 service implementation committed along with bridges for UPnP, Wire Admin, and User Admin. * Managed OSGi framework using JMX committed. * Committed major updates to the OSGi Maven plugin to simplify bundle packaging by auto-generating bundle metadata with the involvement of Peter Kriens. * Many improvements to core Felix OSGi framework, such as auto-detecting which core packages to export based on the current execution environment. * Several OSGi-related presentations at ApacheCon EU from Felix community members. Licensing: * Migrated Service Binder to kxml2 to avoid licensing issues with kxml1, thanks to community member Jan Rellermeyer. * Need further investigation of MX4J licensing; it appears to be a derivative of the Apache license. * Need further investigation of javax.microedition licensing. * Ensured that all source code has appropriate license headers
