I have an application which has used Equinox as an osgi framework for a
while now. Until now I used the system property osgi.install.area to
specify where my bundles are like so:
${osgi.install.area}/
plugins/
org.eclipse.osgi_3.7.0.v20110613.jar
... my app bundles
Equinox then automatically uses ${osgi.install.area}/configuration as the
configuration area.
Everything works fine that way.
Now I need to move the configuration area out of ${osgi.install.area}
because that may be read-only and I thought it was as simple as setting
${osgi.configuration.area} to a suitable path but when I do this the
application no longer starts and I have the following stack trace in the
logs:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service.
Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started
(see config.ini). at
org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:74)
at
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:344)
at
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:179)
at
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.main(EclipseStarter.java:150)
...
I can see that the path is used because at that location the log file is
created and a directory "org.eclipse.osgi" before it fails.
Paths to bundles are referenced in my config.ini like so:
osgi.bundles=de.mycomp.app-0.6.0.20121116-1834.jar@start, ...
The error message does not really give a hint where to look except my
config.ini and that has not changed and I thought paths were being resolved
relative to ${osgi.install.area}/plugins and that has not changed. It must
be something rather simple but I am rather clueless at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
