Managing large sets of OSGi bundles on Equinox [message #121759]

Hello,

I have a couple of features I'd like to see implemented in Equinox:

1- ability in the console to query bundles publishing a particular
service using the service interface

for example: services javax.transaction

would list bundle having currently registered service(s) using this
interface

2- ability in the console to start/stop a set of bundles

for example: start *birt* would start all bundle whose bundle name
contains "birt"

a bit like "ss birt" list all birt bundles

3- last but not least, when you have lot of bundles and you want to have
fine grained control on their start level, the osgi.bundles parameter
from config.ini quickly becomes unmanageable

It would be great to have something like this in config.ini:
osgi.bundles.l1= <list of bundles to start level 1>
osgi.bundles.l2= <list of bundles to start level 2>
osgi.bundles.ln= <list of bundles to start level n>

Looks very much like Linux run levels hmm ? I guess I should have ask
these during RT symposium at ESE :)

Can you tell me if there are already solutions/feature request for the
issues before I put them in Bugzilla ?

Thanks

Fred

Open bugs. I'd suggest prefixing all bug titles with [console].
It would be great if you contribute this work as it seems to be readily
doable.

regarding point 3 below I just red a previous post from Andrew Niefer.

Isn't the new org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator bundle's task to
handle such feature ?
