Running a set of eclipse bundles as an application [message #716784]

I want to start Eclipse CDO as an application in virgo. Eclipse CDO is available as a set of eclipse plugins and has dependencies on eclipse.core.runtime, eclipse.core.expressions, etc.
Is this possible? If yes: How do I "package" that set of eclipse plugins as an application to start in virgo?

You may want to check the PAR and Plan artifacts supported by Virgo. We have the concept described on our wiki [1] and you can find more information in the documentation [2] (I suppose you are using 3.0)

I recommend the plan approach as it's easier to do and gives you more flexibility after you have deployed.

I have tried the PLAN approach...
I tried to "transform" my PDE .product file to a .plan file...
Though, in a .product file, I can define which bundles start at which start level.
Is this not supported in a plan file?

Furthermore, I am getting into this troubles:
When looking at the bundle overview, I can see that o.e.equinox.registry is not started which is needed by EMF.

I am sure that running EMF CDO in virgo is a big advantage over the existing deployment approaches and will make virgo attractive to the EMF CDO community...

The plan does not support start levels. If you want to have some artefacts started before the rest of the plans you may use the initialArtifacts property [1] of the user region. This is especially useful for frameworks.

If you want to group some bundles you can use the grouping/library features [2] offered by Virgo.

By default all artefacts in a plan are started by Virgo. The equinox.registry bundle however has lazy activation policy, so the start in this case should leave the bundle in STARTING start (shown as "<lazy>" in equinox) if no class loading operation is attempted. Perhaps this is the issue here?
