= Analysis =

== Overview ==
We should define a new set of plug-ins, which is packed and combined to construct the Reader part of Sophie2 Project (there are three main parts - the Author, the Reader and the Server). Keep in mind that a plug-in which is part of the Author may also be part of the Reader. 

== Task requirements ==
In this revision of the task:
 * we should create Reader edition of Sophie 2.0 which 
 * there should be difference between author and reader edition (at least one plug-in)
 * the project should run through a real OSGI container, not through our fake one
 * we should update [wiki:PLUGIN_EDITIONS_STRUCTURE] page
== Task result ==
New Reader edition for the project
Updated [wiki:PLUGIN_EDITIONS_STRUCTURE] page

== Implementation idea ==
 * use [wiki:PLUGIN_EDITIONS_STRUCTURE] to make new Reader edition
 * get into the OSGI implementation Apache Felix we use reading some examples: http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-application-demonstration.html

== How to demo ==
Show the new edition in the project.

= Design =
 * Look at [wiki:PLUGIN_EDITIONS_STRUCTURE]
 * The reader and author differ in:
  * PAGE_WORK_AREA
 *  Create a Server edition containing:
  * Results from S2S_ tasks in this iteration
  * non-GUI modules
  * plug-in that embeds an application server
 * Running using OSGI
  * Using service based application hosting(embedding) Felix.
  * Correct the paths to other plug-ins that should be automatically started in Author/Reader Activator class
  * Fix exported libraries in org.sophie2.author.Activator.main
  * Move Main class and org.sophie2.messy.base.GUI package in messy package
  * Add new run configuration
  * Fix !SophieModule in order to register/unregister OSGI services
  * Write a method that collects available modules and adds them to the auto-loaded ones.
   * Searcing in the /modules catalog in deployed application
   * Searching in /modules/<modulename>/target in the project
 * Create a maven goal, that makes the distribution(deployment) of the project. This could be achieved through the assembly maven plug-in
= Implementation =
The task was timeboxed so only the part about running using Apache Felix was done.
 * A new launch configuration was added [source:trunk/sophie2-platform/dev-tools/author.TrueAuthorMain.launch]. It runs the application using Apache Felix.
 * The main method of the Activator class of the author module was refactored:
  * Added runtime libraries to the exported classpath
  * Corrected the paths to the initially loaded bundles
  * Added new modules to the initially loaded bundles
 * Corrected the start method of the !SophieModule class in order to correctly process extensions and extension points
 * Added a start method to the !SophieExtensionPoint class that is used to manage the extensions available for each extension point
 * Corrected the <Embed-Dependency> instruction in pom.xml files of all modules.
 * Corrected packging of some modules.
 * Moved Main class and base.gui package inside the messy package so that they are available in the resulting bundle.
 * cglib posed a serious issue so it is temporally disabled. This concerns all logics.
  * changed all concrete logics' constructors visibility to public
  * removed an assertion in Logic contructor
  * disabled cglib usage in makeInstance method of Logic class
