Re: [pde-dev] Product vs. Launch Inconsistencies
|
I have always been able to find the differences, I am talking more about
the user experience around maintaining two configurations. So if I add
a new bundle, and test it from within eclipse (open the launch tab, add
the bundle, configure it, etc...), I also have to add it (by hand) to my
config.ini file when I go to export it from the product wizard. I would
be nice if I could say (in the X.product file configuration tab), keep
my config.ini file in sync with my launch configuration.
Maybe this is what the generate config.ini option is supposed to do, and
I just stumbled upon a bug.
Cheers,
Ian

What do the two config.ini look like? Can you attach them in an email
so we can see the differences. Knowing what is different might help
diagnose the problem.

Subject: [pde-dev] Product vs. Launch Inconsistencies
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There seems to be some inconsistencies between the product configuration
and a launch configuration. I have a small OSGi application that I can
launch fine from Eclipse, but when I go to create a product, export it,
and launch it, it doesn't run the same. The reason is the actual
configuration file (the one that defines which bundles should start, and
their run level, etc...) is not in sync with what I launched from
Eclipse. This may just be my lack of understanding, and if it is tell
me and I will post the question on the newsgroup. However, I think the
problem exists because the launch and product configuration are two
separate things.
I know I can address this by grabbing (or pointing my config.ini file)
to the one created in configuration directory when I launch my OSGi
application, but this seems a little convoluted. Since it is still
early in the development cycle, does anyone have other thoughts on how
we could address this? Does anyone else see this as a problem or is
there a better way to manage my development + export environment? It
seems like we could provide a slightly better use experience here.
Cheers,
Ian
