OSGi Repository

A plugin to use OSGi repositories

The OSGi Repository can read index files as specified by the OSGi Repository Service Specification and is a read only repository.

Plugin Configuration

The class name of the plugin is aQute.bnd.repository.osgi.OSGiRepository. It can take the following configuration properties:

Property	Type	Default	Description
`name`	`NAME`		The name of the repository.
`locations`	`STRING`		A Comma separate list of URLs point to an OSGi Resource file.
`cache`	`STRING`	The workspace cache folder	The location, the downloaded bundles are stored.
`max.stale`	`integer`	one year	Bnd has it’s own download cache. `max.stale` configures for how many seconds the downloaded index file stays in the internal download cache. Use -1 to always check if there is a newer file on the server.
`poll.time`	`integer`	5 seconds	Number of seconds between checks for polls on the `index` file. If the value is negative or the workspace is in batch/CI mode, then no polling takes place.
`tags`	`STRING`		Comma separated list of tags. (e.g. resolve, baseline, release) Use a placeholder like <<EMPTY>> to exclude the repo from resolution. The `resolve` tag is picked up by the -runrepos instruction.
