Hi David, The intent of working directory is: The directory that will be used by runnr to store i's internal stuff as cached bundles, configuration files for platform, working directories for platforms. Default value is "." = current directory. I tested and works for me. If I start runner as:
pax-run "--workingDirectory="D:/temp" Then a "runner" dir will be automatically created if it does not exist in the folder D:/temp which leads to D:/temp/runner/ In that folder you will find a folder bundles for cached bundles and a folder for each platform you are starting for example felix. If you find the name missleading then we can find a better name for the option. If the info from wiki is not sufficient I will improve it or better maybe you can change it as I have all the infor "in my head" so it may be that I consider sufficient. The notion you specified with a directory for provisioning is not an option is an argument in termes of runner = any argument to runner that does not start with -- So if you wanna provision from a certain directory, let say D:/mybundles you can do: pax-run D:/mybundles or pax-run file:/D:/mybundles or pax-run scan-dir:file:D:/mybundles. The last option is the most complete one. The other two before are "discovered" and completed oout to the last form from above.
