Pipeline as a library, dependency hell, OSGi

[bertfrees]

First

• [doing] Make less dependent on OSGi features, alternative mechanism for dependency injection (based on SPI): Remove dependency on some OSGi features #31
  • Start with minimal framework for using Pipeline modules outside Pipeline (see below)
  • Modules
  • Rest of framework
• Make components more generally usable (outside Pipeline): Make it easier to run XProc and XSLT components in other environments (outside of Pipeline) #28

---

Later

• Clean up Java API, divide in layers
• Make modularity actually useful or otherwise combine modules: Many modules doesn't mean you have a modular system snaekobbi/pipeline-mod-braille#49
• Loosen dependencies, make more dependencies optional: Use Require-Capability and Provide-Capability instead of Require-Bundle #29, Replace Require-Bundle with a better (custom) system for wiring up (non-Java) components #33
• make liblouis-native and liblouis-tables directly usable by liblouis-java (not only through liblouis-core)
• ...
