[tycho-user] "Default Auto-Start"-option for Tycho Surefire

[Katrin Straßl <kstrassl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'd like to know if there is such a thing as a "Default Auto-Start" 
option for Tycho Surefire like it can be found for Eclipse 
Launch-Configurations?

I noticed that when I specify a distinct start level for a bundle in the 
pom.xml, like

<configuration>
    <bundleStartLevel>
        <bundle>
            <id>org.hibernate.osgi</id>
            <level>6</level>
            <autoStart>true</autoStart>
        </bundle>
    </bundleStartLevel>
</configuration>

the corresponding bundle entry in the generated config.ini gets 
generated with @6:start appended. But every bundle without a distinct 
start level is appended without ":start" to the osgi.bundles-parameter, 
so they remain in the "RESOLVED"-state after Equinox starts up.

My testcase relies on bundles starting automatically so my current 
workaround is to specifiy a start level for every deployed bundle which 
obviously makes the pom.xml grow a bit.

I couldn't find any configuration parameter to specify that all bundles 
should be started, so I'm wondering if there is a better way to achieve 
this without having to specify every start level. Additionally I would 
be happy if you could provide some insights on why Tycho Surefire works 
this way - at least from my point of view I'd guess that most testcases 
need the deployed bundles in the "ACTIVE"-state. Or is there some bug 
involved in the end (I'm using version 0.21.0)?

Thanks,
Katrin
