David,
Regarding the part that you are using the config.ini, why do you remove
that command line option on the subsequent launches? If you keep it
there, then it will reuse the cache that it was built the last time
under that configuration folder and you should achieve what you want; I
am guessing that your config folder is different from "config",
underneath where you run your command line, so the next time, after
removing that command line option, it looks into the ./config/ directory
and doesn't see anything there so it only starts the framework with no
additional bundles.
You can also use launchers that are built as part of the equinox [1] if
the binary for your hardware is available.
Ali.

up-to-date this is but is a good starting point)

Hi,
I am sorry if this is not the right place for this post, but I would
appreciate the opinion and answers from people who know more about
Equinox and different ways to launch it. What is it the most common
way to launch Equinox without using Eclipse?
I have the next problem, I would like to have system bundles which are
installed from the beggining, one of this bundles has the
InstallerBundle role, so it is used in order to install another
bundles by programming. Since I would like to achieve a fast
deployment I start to use Pax Runner but I had to change this launcher
because the persistence did not work fine here. I mean, if I installed
a bundle in run time by using Pax Runner context I have not found way
to achieve persistence in the bundles which were installed in run
time. The bundles' states were not kept once I restarted Pax Runner.
On the other hand, I have tried by using config.ini file as it is said
in [1]. But the problem here is that if I launch the command [2] to
load config.ini from CONFIG_INI_FOLDER the first time Equinox installs
and starts the written bundles in config.ini in a right way. But if I
want to launch Equinox by keeping the bundles' state in the second
launching by removing --configuration CONFIG_INI_FOLDER I just get the
framework Equinox bundle installed instead of the other bundles from
config.ini file.
How can I install a set of bundles automatically and then launch
Equinox framework in order to keep the bundles' states for the next
running?
I would like on the one hand to have a simple and fast way to install
and start a set of system bundles without to install one to one each
bundle. On the other hand I would like to use this installation
context to launch Equinox in normal way, I mean, where I could use the
different capabilities that OSGi specification provides, keeping the
bundles's state, keeping as installed bundles those bundles which were
installed programmatically, and so on.
How do you achieve this?

CONFIG_INI_FOLDER
Any idea will appreciated.
Thank you in advance
David
