Hi,
I'm still trying to figure this stuff out, sorry for the newbie questions.
I'm working on setting up a development environment and the current
approach I am using to add plugins to the server-side OSGI framework is by
manually adding the filepath/plugin-ID to the config.ini file inside
WEB-INF/platform/configuration. I'm also using the sysdeo tomcat plugin to
start/stop the bridge webapp.
I'm not sure I totally understand the eclipse launch framework but I'm
thinking there has to be a way to set up my IDE so I can select which
plugins will be loaded in the server-side OSGI runtime using a
configuration as that way I would not have to manually check/fix my
config.ini file.
I've googled all around but can only find the link below that is a
discussion of development for such a component. Can anyone point me in any
directions? Thanks - Duncan

Hi Duncan,
For development, where you want the checkboxes to add and remove bundles and
the convenience of an in-process debugger, I'd recommend you use an embedded
Http Service like "org.eclipse.equinox.http" (or if you're willing to try
beta code https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132555). Any work
you do here is going to be 100% portable when you need to deploy to an App
Server because the HttpService is the common interface also exposed by the
Servlet Bridge.
When you do deploy into a webapp I'd suggest you try to keep your config.ini
generic.
In the simplest configuration, "org.eclipse.update.configurator" will find
and install all bundles that are in WEB-INF/platform/plug-ins and
"org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry" will lazily activate your servlet
extensions on demand. If you have other non-servlet bundles that need to be
started that's when you'll have to modify your config.ini.
Hope this helps.
-Simon
p.s. For the link you gave, I think the approach Jochen describes for a
server-side launcher will work, it's just a matter of finding the time to
add tooling support.
