Is there a set of osgi.bundles ? [message #485071]

Is there a set of osgi.bundles that load all the plugins needed to run an
RCP. In the past we have used a config.ini that was created by the .product
file that hard-coded a very long list of plugins. But is there a way to have
a much smaller list that loads them on demand like the full-blown eclipse?

Something like:

osgi.bundles=reference\:file\: org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.100.v20090520-190 5.jar @1\:start

will do the right thing for an RCP product that includes the correct p2 bundles.

My own product config contains the following (which I assume helps it generate the correct config.ini):

<configurations>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.core.runtime" autoStart="true" startLevel="4" />
<plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.common" autoStart="true" startLevel="2" />
<plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.ds" autoStart="true" startLevel="2" />
<plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins" autoStart="true" startLevel="4" />
<plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator" autoStart="true" startLevel="1" />
<plugin id="org.eclipse.update.configurator" autoStart="true" startLevel="3" />
<property name="eclipse.buildId" value="@qualifier@"/>
</configurations>

Do you have a complete config.ini that you could post , that did not work
for me . Also are the addtions to the manifest that need to be made inorder
for this to work?

What kind of config.ini did that generate? Did you make sure that bundles not included in your product are not listed?

I am not generatring a config.ini (nor am I exactly sure how to do that
anyway) I just want a config.ini that I can check into our source repository
that has the correct osgi.bundles so I do not have to muck with them.

Hi Drew,

That cannot be supplied by others because we don't know which bundles you
have. The simpleconfigurator will install all bundles in the bundle directory
when the framework starts. Apart from that you need to supply and @start your
own bundles. Look into any generated product to get an example.

This is not quite correct.

org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator installs the bundles that are
listed in the bundles.info file, normally located under
configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator (as specified by
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl in the config.ini)

This might be somewhat useful:
