SpringDM Run Configuration - Artifacts not deploying

Hello All,

I have embarked on a 3 day saga to get my Code, Compile, Deploy workflow set up for 2 projects that will be done on OSGi, and more specifically SpringDM Server ( Now Virgo ).  As a bit of a background I am comming from Eclipse where OSGi developement tools are way superior to anything I have seen until know in Intellij. It does have 1 big caveat, the fact that when you are about to deploy to production all hell breaks loose because eclipse took over the classpath during development.

So I am using Maven to create my bundles, and I have set up the OSGi Facet to find the Manifest.MF file created by the maven-bundlor-plugin, and doesn't try to create it on its own, this is all working because I was able to deploy my bundles with a stand alone Felix container.

Next Up  SpringDM Run Configuration. Here I have set up my project modules to be DM Bundles which immediately makes them available in the "Deploy Artifacts" tab of the "SpringDM" run configuration. I select the artifacts there and run the server. For the life of me I do not understand why the bundles are not getting deployed on the server.

The bundles are created by osmorc (i think) under the [Project Root]/out/artifacts directory, and I have inspected some (not all) of the bundles to make sure the Manifest headers are in order.

I did follow this post http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/05/spring-dmserver-support-for-intellij-idea/ which is a bit outdated but makes sense, but it just wouldn't work.

I would like to ask if there someone here that is working with the following combo Intellij + Maven + SpringDm/Virgo and give me a brief insight on the development workflow, to see if I am missing something blatantely obvious.


Best Regards,
Fotis
