Type Incompatibility With Maven SCR Plugin
06 Feb 2013 , tagged: OSGI, Maven, SCR
Yesterday I ran into a most strange error when compiling one of my OSGI bundles: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4:scr (generate-scr-scrdescriptor) on project XXX: A type incompatibility occured while executing org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin:1.7.4:scr: com.thoughtworks.qdox.model.Annotation cannot be cast to java.util.List I saw several variations of that error and was initially clueless as how to fix it. However, I eventually found the problem: @Service(value = { MyService.class, ManagedService.class }) @Component(immediate = true) @Properties(@Property(name = "foo", value = "bar")) public class NissanAutoDataUrlGenerator implements ManagedService { } The mistake is that the @Properties annotation takes an array as it’s parameter.
