John,
You should be able to manage remote felix installations using the client script in the bin directory (or at least that's where it's located in Karaf). Your IDE should allow you to use any repository you like. I use Eclipse as my environment, and it allows you to specify different home repositories. Lastly, for remote debugging of bundles being deployed into your remote instance, simply set the KARAF_DEBUG environment variable on the remote machine to "1". Then, in your IDE configure the debugger to connect to your remote instance, via the appropriate port (its 5005 for Karaf, no idea if its the same for Felix). In my configuration, I have Karaf running on a linux box. I have my local repository set to that linux box inside of Eclipse. I have the "run" capability in Eclipse set to connect from my Windows box and run the remote box's client script. When I start my remote instance, Karaf waits for me to start up my debugger, and I can use my IDE console to view all of the messages Karaf spits out. If I want to view the logs, I simply remote-login to the remote system and tail -f the log. Is that close to what you want to do? v/r, Mike Van ----- Original Message ----- From: "john dunlap" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 3, 2010 4:36:19 PM Subject: Re: OBR search and installation That's very very close to what I want.
