The resolver normally finds a lost of capabilities that match a given requirement. This list has an order defined by the context. However, in certain occasions this order is not the desired order. The -resolve.preferences
allows you to override this context order. It is an ordered list of Bundle Symbolic Names. The list of capabilities will always be adjusted to have the bundles in the -resolver.preferences
always first when they are present.
For example:
`-resolve.preferences` : \
com.example.bundle.most.priority, \
com.example.bundle.less.priority, \
com.example.whatever
Given that for a requirement the capabilties come from:
com.example.some.bundle,
om.example.bundle.less.priority,
com.example.another.bundle,
com.example.most.priority
Then the resulting order will be:
com.example.most.priority
om.example.bundle.less.priority,
com.example.some.bundle,
com.example.another.bundle,
Preferences should only be used when blacklisting is not a better solution.
