Gogo shell bundle should not shut down the framework by default
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-3214
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3214
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Gogo Shell
Reporter: Glyn Normington
Embedding the Gogo shell in Eclipse Virgo, we have found it necessary to set an
appropriate property to prevent the Shell class from shutting down the whole
OSGi framework. This behaviour is rather anti-social from the perspective of
embedding Gogo. It means we need to set the relevant property, e.g.
gosh.args=--nointeractive, for each and every way of launching the Virgo kernel
(Startup script, from Eclipse, from integration test framework, from other test
frameworks, etc.). Each time someone launches the Virgo kernel in a new way,
they are likely to hit this gotcha as it is pretty surprising.
The relevant code is in the Shell class:
if (login && interactive && !opt.isSet("noshutdown"))
{
System.out.println("gosh: stopping framework");
shutdown();
}
This affects version 0.8.0 of Gogo.
(It is, of course, conceivable we are using Gogo incorrectly, in which case
this issue can be used to improve the relevant Gogo documentation.)
