Sure can you open a doc bug against Equinox->Framework to clear up the
documentation.  Thanks.

Thanks, the osgi.framework.activeThreadType property works fine for us.

As for the osgi.noshutdown property, is it possible its description to be
changed, so that this becomes clear from it? Beacuse the current
description suggests that it really keeps the framework alive.

Lazar

That is correct. Another option is to have one of your bundles start an
non-daemon thread itself. This has issues though because once your bundle
stops (which should stop its own thread) then the VM will stop.

Thanks a lot.

We are starting the framework with java -jar org.eclipse.osgi.jar. As far
as I can see, in this case the only way to keep the framework running
without any applications is to use the property
osgi.framework.activeThreadType and cannot be achieved with
osgi.noshutdown. Is this correct?

Lazar

The osgi.noShutdown option is used to disable the code in the launcher that
shuts down the framework and calls System.exit once it has gained access
back to the main thread. If you are running no eclipse application then the
main thread will be returned back to the launcher
(org.eclipse.equinox.launcher jar) immediately. If you are not using
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher to start equinox then you may not need this
option. If you are just using java -jar org.eclipse.osgi.jar then this
option is automatically set for you.

The way to shutdown any OSGi framework is to call Bundle.stop() on the
system bundle (bundle id = 0)

BundleContext context = getContext()
context.getBundle(0).stop();

HTH.

Thank you, Ali, this works just fine.

But still, does anybody know what is the effect of osgi.noshutdown? Because
by setting osgi.framework.activeThreadType to normal, the framework stays
active with no applications, regardless if osgi.noshutdown is set to true
or not.

And one more question - if using osgi.framework.activeThreadType, is it
possible to shutdown "gracefully" the framework?

Set "osgi.framework.activeThreadType=normal" in your config.ini or pass
that to the jre (via "-D") and it should do what you want

                        Hello,

                        I have a question regarding the configuration
                        property osgi.noshutdown and the corresponding
                        command line parameter -noExit. According to the
                        documentation for this property, "if "true", the VM
                        will not exit after the eclipse application has
                        ended". We are launching Equinox from command line,
                        with osgi.noshutdown set to true in the
                        configuration file, and also with
                        eclipse.ingnoreApp set to true. We want to have a
                        running framework, which is not executing any
                        application. But still, the framework terminates.
                        Isn't this in odds with the documentation?

                        In bug 183208 is described a similar case. It is
                        commented there, that the VM exits if there is no
                        non-daemon threads running, and the framework does
                        not start such threads, and the bug is closed as
                        resolved. But then what is the osgi.noshutdown
                        property for? Since the framework exits, then the
                        property does not do what it should. In this case,
                        how can we achieve running the framework with no
                        application, and without the -console option, if
                        possible?

                        Kind regards,
                        Lazar Kirchev
