Restart the framework in the same VM if the framework is stopped or updated.

  • Example: -runframeworkrestart: true

  • Pattern: .*



Any bundle can stop the framework. After stopping, the launcher receives a notification and normally exit the process with System.exit. In some cases, usually testing, it is necessary to do a restart in the local VM.

If -runframeworkrestart is set to true, the launcher will not do a hard exit after the framework is stopped, but will restart the framework after doing the normal clean up.

The launcher keeps a system property launcher.framework.restart.count that is set to the iteration, it is initially zero.
