  • Launcher

    bnd integrates an OSGi launcher. This launcher will start a framework and then install and start a list of bundles. The launching environment is described with a number of instructions that start with -run.

    • -runfw — Specify the run framework in repository format
    • -runsystemcapabilities —
    • -runbundles — A list of bundles to install in repository format
    • -runvm — VM options. Use a comma to separate different options. E.g. -Dx=4, -Dy=5.
    • -runproperties — System properties for the framework to create
    • -runpath — A list of jars (not required to be bundles) that are put on the classpath and available from the system bundle. Any Export-Package headers are exported.
    • -runsystempackages — An Export-Package list for packages exported by the system bundle.
