Guys, Shouldn't we write this down into a little section in the dev guide? Regards, Morgan 2016-07-14 9:17 GMT+02:00 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>: FYI, it's also possible to start karaf with debug argument (instead of KARAF_DEBUG env variable). Regards JB On 07/14/2016 08:59 AM, Christian Schneider wrote: Currently the recommended way is to use a maven or gradle build with the maven-bundle-plugin or bnd-maven-plugin. You then create a feature or custom distro during the build. In Eclipse you can use m2e to import your projects as maven projects. To debug you do: export KARAF_DEBUG=true bin/karaf bundle:watch * .. install your feature Then you can attach a remote debug session from eclipse. You can use breakpoints in your maven projects and debug as usual. When you change code you do mvn install in the changed project. Karaf will detect the change and update the bundle. You can do this during the debug session. So the drawback of this solution is that it is a bit tedious to create the features and start karaf by hand and attach the debug session but from this point on it is quite convenient.

Bndtools? Is it recommended to use a "palin" OSGi container (Felix/Equinox) while developing in order to have short turnaround cycles? Kind regards Oliver Christian Schneider schrieb: Currently there is no good Eclipse integration for karaf. Bndtools might be an option soon. They are currently working on maven and karaf supoort. Not sure how long it will take but it is something to keep an eye on. Christian On 13.07.2016 14:58, Oliver Libutzki wrote: Hi everyone, is there a way to start Karaf from Eclipse? I just don't want to install all the bundles I develop to the local Maven Repository in order to use them. I stumbled upon EIK (https://github.com/apache/karaf-eik), but the last commit is from August 2014, so EIK seems to be dead. Thanks for your help.
