Re: [virgo-dev] Virgo test framework - @BundleDependencies question

[Glyn Normington <gnormington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dmitry

I haven't noticed this annotation, so thanks for bringing it up for discussion!

Presumably the annotation adds the bundles to the user region, so is more akin to the user region properties. Right? (If so, I then wonder whether it's closer to baseBundles which need to be transitively complete and are installed early in the user region or initialArtifacts which are deployed through the deployer interface relatively late, but before recovery, hot deployment etc. get going. We should work this out if/when we document the test framework...)

The flag is more maintainable IMO and therefore preferable.

I wonder if the default value of the flag should be true, as it's by far the most common case and is harmless for bundles that don't need starting.

Finally, is "BundleEnty" a typo?

Regards,
Glyn
