Add OSGi Metadata

[tonit]

It would be nice if this library would ship with a valid MANIFEST.MF for OSGi Bundle compatibility.
This is quite simple to achieve and would make jedis OSGi compatible (broaden the audience, make it a first class citizen in Java App Severs that leverage OSGi as Runtime already.. and so on).

(fork commit coming)

Hi! thanks for this! Seem OK. although I'm not sure if changing the packaging from jar to bundle can affect anyone. Don't have lots of experience with OSGi.

It has been a while since this. I will close this for now as it seems no one need this. Will glad to reopen this if people ask for this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm also now looking at using Jedis in an OSGi container. It would be great if you can add this patch. The packaging won't affect normal use - the bundle produced is a jar that can be used as normal in non OSGi environments

Hi!
I'd also appreciate the OSGI compatibility, as I'm going to use Jedis in my Apache Camel project (Karaf server).
It seems, that for now is possible to use this: https://github.com/sneakybeaky/jedis-osgi
But "official support" for OSGI sounds better :-)

@stibi I created that as a result of this issue. I'd be happy to push to maven central but just need to agree how to credit Jedis in the release notes. You've also seen the Jedis Karaf / Gogo shell commands bundle in my repo too I guess ?

[stibi]

@sneakybeaky Hi! Yes I noticed Jedis Karaf shell too, nice! I'll definitely check it out! Thanks!

@sneakybeaky This is not the best place for such discussion, but I need to ask you for help, with quite basic problem I have, right from the start…
How to install jedis-osgi bundle in Karaf? Looking on "distributionManagement" configuration in jedis-osgi pom file, there I can see that artifacts are stored on Amazon S3. My Maven doesn't know "s3" protocol. After quick googling, I'd say I have to enable something…
Could you give me a hint?

[sneakybeaky]

@stibi look at https://github.com/sneakybeaky/osgi-leaderboards#getting-started, specifically the part about editing the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg file. Once done you can add the jedis feature :

karaf@root> features:install jedis

An example of using blueprint to define a local redis datasource can be found at https://github.com/sneakybeaky/jedis-osgi/blob/master/example-datasource/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/local-redis-datasource.xml

[stibi]

ok, thanks for the repository url…
To install jedis-osgi,

karaf@root> install -s mvn:redis.clients/com.ninedemons.jedis/2.1.0-SNAPSHOT

was working for me.

[sneakybeaky]

You'll need apache commons pool too:

karaf@root> install -s mvn:org.apache.commons/com.springsource.org.apache.commons.pool/[1.5,2)
