Re: [concierge-dev] Installing bundles from workspace

[Tim Verbelen <tim.verbelen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jochen,

I often use bnd to build and run my OSGi bundles. You can easily specify a bndrun file with all the bundles you want and use org.eclipse.concierge as your runtime framework, provided that you have a repository with the latest concierge build in (I use my personal one http://users.ugent.be/~tverbele/repositories/concierge/)

If you combine this with the bndtools plugin in Eclipse, it is easy to create a bndtools workspace where you can automatically run and update your bundles directly from your workspace.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Jan, Tim,

I came across due to integrating more and more bundles which required minor changes, that it is time consuming from a developer perspective always build the bundles first, and then start the Concierge OSGi framework again with updated bundles.

Did you thought about supporting bundles directly from a workspace? Like Equinox is doing that?

There is yet an ExplodedJarBundleRevision which could be reused when a bundle is yet "exploded" in workspace. The challenges I see here is that the compiled class files are sometimes in bin folder, sometimes in target/classes folder, dependent on build system. All other resources should be "just there".

I agree in general that the framework should not be "polluted" by too much code which is not necessary for normal usage. But maybe we find a simple solution without big overhead on code complexity and size.

Bye, Jochen
