Bundle layout on disk [message #495087]

I'm playing around with running osgi standalone (no P2 and no eclipse.exe).

I'm just invoking the jar on the command line:
java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090520.jar -console

I already have a bunch of bundles in my ${workingDir}/plugins subdirectory. When I execute the command installBundle("file:plugins/myBundle.jar") the bundle is added to the running framework and a quick "ss" shows that it was in fact installed.

On disk, the framework has copied my jar into ${osgi.bundlestore}/16/1/bundlefile. When I open that file I can see all of my classes and my MANIFEST.MF file.

I just want to install the bundle from its original disk location in the plugins subdirectory, like eclipse does. Why did the framework create a copy of my bundle instead of using its original location? Is there a way to make equinox behave like it does in eclipse where all of my plugins go into a subdirectory called plugins and are not copied elsewhere?

Try using
installBundle("reference:file:plugins/myBundle.jar")
