-runrepos REPO-NAME ( ',' REPO-NAME )*

The -runrepos instruction is used to restrict or order the available repositories. A bndrun file can be based on a workspace or can be standalone. In the workspace case the, the repositories are defined in build.bnd or in a *.bnd file in the cnf/ext directory as bnd plugins. In the standalone case the repositories are either OSGi XML repositories listed in the -standalone instruction or they are also defined as plugins but now in the bndrun file.

In both cases there is an ordered list of repositories. In the -standalone it is easy to change this order or exclude repositories. However, in the workspace case this is harder because the set of repositories is shared with many other projects. The -runrepos can then be used to exclude and reorder the list repositories. It simply lists the names of the repositories in the desired order. Each repository has its own name.

Note The name of a repository is not well defined. It is either the name of the repository or the toString() result. In the later case the name is sometimes a bit messy.

For example:

-runrepos: Maven Central, Main, Distro
