The bnd workspace can use a resolver to calculate the content of the -runbundles
instruction based on a set of initial requirements. The bndtools GUI can manually resolve the initial requirements but through the -resolve
instruction it is possible to calculate the -runbundles
when the file is saved or just before the -runbundles
are used in the launch.
The values are:
manual
– It is up to the user to resolve the initial requirementsauto
– Whenever the initial requirements are saved, the resolver will be used to set new -runbundles
beforelaunch
– Calculate the -runbundles
on demand. This ignores the value of the -runbundles
and runs the resolver. The results of the resolver are cached. This cache works by creating a checksum over all the properties of the project.batch
– When running in batch mode, the run bundles will be resolved. In all other modes this will only resolve when the -runbundles
are empty.cache
– Will use a cache file in the workspace cache. If that file is stale relative to the workspace or project or it does not exist, then the bnd(run) file will be resolved and the result is stored in the cache file.never
– If anybody tries to resolve , the process will throw an UnsupportedOperationException
. This is intended for manually curated runbundles or where a base file is resolved and other files include them an add some additional instructions. The Excepetion is meant as a clear warning to any developer accidentally resolving the -runbundles
