yes, as Karl says Felix already supports the new launching RFC for those interested the code for the current Felix launcher is here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/main/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/main/Main.java it's relatively straightforward - but I was suggesting people might want to look at the Felix installers subproject, which is supposed to provide installable images of Felix (these could then make the example bundle URLs absolute based on the install directory) https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk/installers IMHO fixing the installers is better than changing the launcher as the launcher is actually doing the right thing (resolving relative URLs based on the current working directory) so the problem is really the relative URLs in the default Felix configuration unfortunately, the Felix installers subproject has stalled recently because no-one has time to maintain it - so if someone could help out here it would be much appreciated :) regards, > > Karl > > > --Jools > > > > > > 2009/7/5 Stuart McCulloch <[email protected]> > > > >> 2009/7/5 Jools <[email protected]> > >> > >> > Hi James, > >> > > >> > You'll need write permissions in the directory you are executing in so > >> that > >> > the cache directory can be made. > >> > > >> > Or you can specify the bundle cache dir as the first argument to the > >> felix > >> > command. > >> > > >> > java -jar felix.jar <cachedir> > >> > > >> > >> actually I think James just needs to use the following command: > >> > >> java -jar bin/felix.jar > >> > >> from the directory above the "bin" directory - this is because the > >> Felix launcher is basic and does not try to guess where it's been > >> installed (you'll notice the example URLs are relative to the main > >> Felix installation directory) > >> > >> [ http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-usage-documentation.html ] > >> > >> we would like to provide an 'installer' that could update the example > >> config file with the correct installed location, but other issues keep > >> taking precedence - of course if someone would like to contribute > >> a patch to provide a Felix installer (or improve the Felix launcher) > >> feel free to attach it to a new task/feature on JIRA > >> > >> Alternatively, you can specify the location for the cache directory in > the > >> > config.properties in the ./config dir. > >> > > >> > Hope it helps. > >> > > >> > Cheers, > >> > > >> > --Jools > >> > > >> > 2009/7/5 James Carroll <[email protected]> > >> > > >> > > I'm trying to get started with Felix and have run into a problem > right > >> > > off the bat.
