It looks like the list of packages is derived from http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/api/package-list so I'd need to have a "config.properties" starting with:
jre-1.8=, \ ..then each subsequent line starting with a space, package name, semicolon, space, and a backslash, and terminating with the "version" line. With each subsequent line being derived from "package-list", as above. Is that correct? As the application actually uses Felix in embedded mode, I don't have the "conf" directory. How should I then merge the default properties with the Java 8 properties? I'm guessing that I can't just clobber Constants.FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES in the HashMap I pass to the Felix constructor (because "default.properties" looks like it contains multiple possible values from which a runtime-dependent property is selected at some point I haven't yet found, and isn't used as-is for that framework property). I would like to avoid rolling my own build of Felix, and would prefer to have some programmatic way where I can process "package-list" (and update that file as JDK8 approaches its final release) -- I can deal with that part -- and either add it to Felix's "default.properties" (when initialising Felix) or just detect JDK8 myself and conditionally override Felix's default behaviour. I'm guessing that merging is possible, because that's what's implied by your suggestion of using "conf/config.properties" (which I'm assuming Felix merges with "default.properties"). Can I do that somehow, or can I define my own "conf" dir (and if I do, will Felix try to read or write other files there)? Alternatively, if I were to modify the "default.properties" file, I guess I would need to copy the section starting "jre-1.7=, \" up to "version="0.0.0.1_007_JavaSE" (replacing the "7" with "8") and append it after a blank line in the same file (or is there anything else to do... I see that that file contains other "non-jre" sections). Is that correct? Thanks, Christopher On 12 September 2013 18:14, Richard S.
