ESH is composed of a lot of bundles, which come in a preconfigured eclipse workspace. How can I export them outside of eclipse and run them as an independent OSGi service?

I have downloaded and installed the ESH workspace with all its bundles. I can easily start them using Eclipse Launch Configurations. Everything works perfectly, no issues.

Now I want to export the ESH bundles (getting corresponding .jar files for each bundle, I assume) and run them from the command line. My final goal is to run ESH on a Raspberry Pi, but currently I cannot even manage to export and launch it on my PC.

The closest I have come so far is trying to export from the feature.xml-files in the corresponding feature-bundles. But this never seems to work due to "A cycle was detected when generating the classpath..." errors.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it maybe possible to build everything using maven? What should I be doing differently?

Please, help!

To run it outside of the IDE, you obviously need some OSGi framework, an HTTP server, some initial configuration, etc.
Please have a look at https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome-packaging-sample - This repo gives you an example of how you can package the ESH bundles into a standalone distribution.

Hope this helps!
