osgi.dev property in eclipse 4.5.2 [message #1733249]

We just upgraded from eclipse 4.3 to 4.5.2.

We are using osgi within a jboss eap server. In development, we reference the workspace plugins in the config.ini. We also used the osgi.dev in config.ini property to add our classes folder (target/classes) to the classpath. This worked fine in eclipse 4.3.

In eclipse 4.5.2 the this property seems to have no effect anymore. Was this removed in 4.5(.2), is there another way to tell the BundleClassloader where to find the class files?

I think you are hitting https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=446571

In 4.4 and 4.5 there are several settings that the framework is reading too early before the config.ini is even loaded. If you are using the servlet bridge within jboss then you can use the work around mentioned in that bug. If you are launching the framework yourself using the OSGi launching API then you can pass the osgi.dev param in with the Map you use the launch the framework.

Also trying one of the release candidates for Neon (4.6) would be helpful in making sure the issue is really fixed for you in the upcoming release.
