Re: [eclipse-dev] Tweaking Eclipse installs

Jeff,
does that osgi.clean=true / -clean include osgi.checkConfiguration=true /
-dev?

There seems to be some confusion in this area. Some clarification (I
hope)...
Previously (i.e., 2.1) one could go and manually tweak previously installed
plugins and then rerun Eclipse and have the changes be picked up. As you
can imagine, having the runtime scan the file system to find these changes
is quite expensive. Further, this kind of tweaking is very rare. It is
rare in development scenarios and non-existant in product scenarios.
Several weeks ago the runtime eliminated these checks from the normal
startup sequence and put in place several options for running Eclipse and
detecting changes.
The following reenable checking for changes to the plugin.xml or
manifest.mf files:
osgi.checkConfiguration=true (System property)
If this property is set to true, the runtime will check for changes
to the plugin.xml and
manifest.mf files for the installed plugins. This can be set
either on the command
line using -Dosgi.checkConfiguration=true as VM arg or putting that
property
setting in the config.ini file)
-dev
as a command line program arg. Automatically sets
osgi.checkConfiguration to true
If you have done more extensive tweaks to your installed plugins (e.g.,
adding/renaming packages) then a more extensive rework of the runtime's
information is required and you should specify one of
osgi.clean=true (System property)
If this property is set to true, the runtime will
recompute/reanalyze the plugins
installed and update its internal information. This can be set
either on the command
line using -Dosgi.clean=true as VM arg or putting that property
setting in the config.ini file)
-clean
as a command line program arg. Automatically sets osgi.clean to
true
