The OSGi is currently working on a standard in this area. We have finished the RFPs and started working on the RFC. So if you have inputs, please let them be known.

A key requirement is to be able to start a framework from the OS command line regardless of implementation type.

Please note that Knopflerfish, Apache Felix have shell implementations that also run on Equinox. For OSGi members, there is also a nifty shell in the OSGi repository org.osgi.tools.console.jar.

Kind regards,

Hi Jeremy,

This looks very cool! I've also been thinking of something like this (OSGi from shell) but never actually did anything about it. :) Is the Java 1.5 requirement serious, or could it be easily backported to 1.4?

thanks
ken

Hi all,

A few months ago we replaced our extensive use of the built-in Equinox
console with our own system.  Some of our requirements for the new
system were:
* Multiple user support
* Command history
* Output processing (grep, sort, sed, awk, etc.)
* The ability to execute Equinox commands (start/stop bundles, system
status, etc.)

Instead of reinventing a very large wheel, we simply placed command
execution in the context of a UNIX shell.

More detail and examples, as well as the source and binaries, are
available at: http://code.google.com/p/cimspringfield/wiki/Commands

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Jeremy Volkman
