RE: [equinox-dev] Autostarting Bundles

Chris,

 

FYI - I tried using the product def’n editor to set the bundles start levels.  I had a problem when using the “default” start level.  It set the entry in the config.ini to “@0”.  This caused an error when starting the server-side Eclipse environment.  Once I changed these to a specific start level (“@4”), everything did work.

 

BTW – I was surprised that bundles marked for started were defined via “osgi.bundles”, instead of setting CU’s to update the bundle.info.

I have a small server-side equinox application running.  I would like

Is there an accepted way to auto start bundles without having the
explicitly in the config.ini?

We have used a solution in the past that require the plugins wishing
autostart to register an extension to a service that will start them
on their behalf.  But it seems like there must be a different way.


So, is there a reason you need bundles autostarted? Is this something that could be solved using Declarative Services (DS) since DS now listens for lazy bundles?

One strategy outside the p2.inf suggestion that Denis mentioned is using a product definition and tweaking the start levels from there.
