About:
bnd is a comprehensive toolkit for developing OSGi bundles and managing the OSGi lifecycle. It provides powerful tools to analyze existing JAR files, generate manifests, and create complex deployments. Its primary value is in simplifying the creation and maintenance of modular Java applications using the OSGi standard.
Key Features:
  • Manifest generation and validation
  • Bundle analysis and inspection
  • Repository and dependency management
  • Extensive build tool integration (Maven, Gradle, Ant)
Use Cases:
  • Building OSGi-compliant modular applications
  • Analyzing and debugging existing OSGi bundles
  • Automating bundle creation in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Bazel – General-purpose build system, not OSGi-specific
  • Maven Bundle Plugin – OSGi plugin for Maven, uses bnd under the hood
