Re: [equinox-dev] Can I avoid having all my OSDI containers copied?

[Ben Cox <benjamin.cox@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick,

In Equinox, you can avoid the copying
of bundles into the configuration area by preceding the bundle path with
"reference:" - so, for example, "reference:file:plugins/org.opendaylight.controller.clustering.services-implementation-0.4.0.jar".
This will use the bundle in-place.

Natives will still be copied out into
the configuration area, as they must be 'real' files.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
I'm running on a platform that has very limited
disk space and I was looking at disk usage of OpenDaylight.
The biggest directories are the plugins
and configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundlesdirectories.
The plugins
directory is where all my bundles are, so I'm OK with it. But theconfiguration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles
directory seems to contain mostly copies of my bundles.
For example configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/117/1/bundlefile
is an exact copy ofplugins/org.opendaylight.controller.clustering.services-implementation-0.4.0.jar.
That is a big waste of disk space.
I've tried to find a configuration option
to disable that and found nothing. Is there something?
I've looked at the Equinox source code as
well and didn't find anything. Can somebody point me to the location in
the code where this is done? I'd like to disable that or at least replace
it by a hard link.
