Sigar-Bundle

An OSGi wrapper bundle for Hyperic Sigar. https://github.com/hyperic/sigar

============

Just use build it using mvn install or deploy on your Nexus. It's not deployed on Maven Central but if you think it should drop me a mail.

You must set the framework property org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation to sun.misc. Be careful, the bundle will install in your OSGi container without complaining, since I prevent bnd from adding the Import-Package clause on sun.misc (because otherwise Bnd can't resolve it with the JavaSE-1.x profile). This is not a problem for me since I use Sigar with Akka Cluster, which already requires delegating the sun.misc package to the boot classloader.

Also, Sigar depends on log4j 1.2.x. I suggest using the log4j 1.2.17 (as of today) available on Maven Central. It is a valid OSGi bundle.

<dependency>
    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> 
  <version>1.2.17</version>
</dependency>

Sigar's JAR contains some useless code, including its unit tests (which in turn depend on JUnit). This wrapper strips the test package from the original Jar, and explicitely avoids to import the package org.apache.tools.ant and its subpackages that are used by some of the classes in Sigar, so you won't be able to use them from OSGi.

Enjoy.
