How to configure dropins folder to activate bundles automatically? [message #524977]

Hi,

Reading some documentation, I was under the impression that if I dropped an OSGi bundle to dropins/, it would automatically be activated. I saw it getting RESOLVED only. How do I configure dropins to ACTIVATE bundles by default?

I am on Eclipse 3.5.2.

Thanks,
Sahoo

AFAIK it's working correctly. The dropins bundle will auto-install a
bundle. But the bundle will only become active 1) if it's a plugin with
auto-start set to true and something accesses a class from the bundle or
2) if you activate it programmaticly or from the OSGi console.

OK, that explains the observed behavior. Let me ask how I can have a pure OSGi bundle autostarted by eclipse if I don't want my users to use the OSGi console.

You can write code. In one of your other plugins, if you can find the
Bundle call Bundle.start(Bundle.START_TRANSIENT) or whatever if it is
not already started.
