Difference between exit and shutdown. Problem with bundle state persistence [message #76845]

Hi,

I install a simple bundle on equinox and start it. After then I type 'exit'
on the console.

After restart of the Equinox simple bundle disappears.

If after installing I first type "shutdown" and then "exit" I have no
problems. After restart of the Equinox the bundle is OK.

I use Equinox 3.2.1.

Is this bug or a feature? Because based on OSGi specification I think that
the bundle state must be persistently stored on the framework.

Hi Pavlin,

"shutdown" stops the system bundle. (and stop the framework)
"launch" let's you (re)start the system bundle (and startup the framework)

"exit" calls System.exit(0) and subsequently state "might" not be saved.
"close" is probably the command you want to use most of the time as it
cleanly terminates the framework ensuring all state is correctly saved etc.
before calling System.exit.

Hope this helps.
