Re: [pde-build-dev] JNLP and unpacked plugins

Hi Thomas,

You should be able to put the downloaded jar into the config folder
(specified in the system property osgi.configuration.area). However
depending when you will be running the 'installer', the variables that can
be used in this property may not have been resolved.
In order to make osgi aware about the bundles you extracted you can append
your bundles to the osgi.bundles property by giving the fully qualified
path of the bundle.
However I'm afraid that you can't get those two things to work at the same
time without modifying the WebStartMain code since one requires osgi to be
started and the other not, but here I'm assuming that what you refer to as
"installer" is the jnlp installer mechanism.

Could you refine what you have in mind?

We've come to a point where we want to use Java Web Start to download
and deploy a bundle that is unpacked. The current functionality provided
by Eclipse does not allow this. We need it though, since we want to use
bundles like the org.eclipse.pde.build.

The approach I'm thinking of taking involves exporting the bundle (so
that it indeed is a jar) and associate the JNLP download with an
'installer' that will perform the unpack operation once the bundle has
reached its destination. I'm a bit uncertain where to put the resulting
folder though, and any insight on this would be very helpful. How can I
make the WebStartMain aware of the unpacked bundles that I create?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
