Framework launcher should automatically deploy bundles in bundle directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-1446
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1446
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Main
Affects Versions: felix-1.8.1
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Assignee: Richard S. Hall
Fix For: felix-2.0.0
The approach for managing which bundles are automatically deployed when the
framework starts is somewhat configuration intensive; i.e., you must always
edit the configuration properties. It seems we could simplify this process by
treating the 'bundle' directory as an auto-deploy directory, where its
contained bundles are installed and started when the framework is started. With
this approach, the user does not need to edit the configuration file to add or
remove bundles from framework startup, he or she simply needs to add or remove
bundles from the bundle directory.
This is similar to how File Install works, but it is not a run-time mechanism
like File Install, it is only at startup time. Originally, I had thought about
actually using File Install, but I think it is too complicated for the
launcher, especially with respect to threading.
