Robert Koszegi commented on FELIX-136:
--------------------------------------
Eclipse defines an extension point org.eclipse.pde.ui.osgiFrameworks to support
launching OSGI frameworks.
I created a plugin for running Felix. This solves the problem discussed in this
issue. No modification for Felix or the project structure is needed.
It is possible to create a Felix target platform and use that in the launch
configuration.
Felix will use the exploded bundles being developed and tested - everything
works the same as in equinox target platforms.
If anyone is interested I am happy with sharing the source.
Regards,
Robert

> Add property to modify development-time bundle class path for Eclipse PDE

> Key: FELIX-136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-136
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Framework
> Reporter: Richard S. Hall
> Assignee: Richard S. Hall
> Priority: Minor
>
> Eclipse PDE uses "framework launchers" for lauching arbitrary OSGi
> frameworks. Felix in combination with its "reference:" protocol is
> successfully able to be launched by Eclipse PDE, but it is not ideal since it
> requires that the project be structured with everything in the root
> directory. Since projects are typically organized around bin/ and classes/
> directories, this is less than perfect.
> Equinox supports a special property to modify the bundle's class path at
> development time to alleviate this situation. Such a property could also be
> added to Felix to improve integration with Eclipse PDE.
> For example, DirectoryRevision could be modified to search for a
> configuration property named ${bundle-symbolic-name}.classpath and could
> prepend this value to the existing manifest header. To my understanding, this
> is similar to the approach used by Equinox.
> If we implement this, then we should probably add another property to
> enable/disable development-time features, so that people cannot use this
> property unless the framework is being used in development mode.
