Thomas GILLET commented on FELIX-3195:
--------------------------------------

Hello,

I just made this modification to the Felix launcher, so here is the patch, in case someone is still interested.
Probably the same modifications as Andreas did, but the auto-deploy actions are taken into account.

Properties are:
* {{felix.auto.deploy.<group>.dir}}
* {{felix.auto.deploy.<group>.action}}
* {{felix.auto.deploy.<group>.startlevel}}

Where {{<group>}} is used to link properties together. It is optional so the whole thing should be backward-compatible.
Also directories are deployed in the alphabetical order of the group names.

As Andreas said, it's merely a loop around the original {{processAutoDeploy()}} code. Works fine for me, but the "uninstall" action may use a little more thoughts, since it can produce strange results sometime (more details in the source code).

_Note:_ I'm still using R4.3, so I made the patch from Felix 4.2.1.

_Note:_ The patch also contains modification of the {{config.properties}} file, so 2 components are impacted.

> We put a slight addition into the launcher to get the bundle setup easier to handle. We added start levels to auto-deploy directory configurations; this allows you to configure multiple auto-deploy directories and have all of the bundles in a single directory deployed and started with the defined run level. This makes configuration easier compared to listing all bundles for each start level explicitly. We used the same syntax you already use for autostart, i.e. felix.auto.deploy.dir.<N>=/some/bundle/dir
> Maybe you want to consider adding this to the default distribution. The only change we did is really do add an additional loop into the AutoProcessor. In case you want to put it in maybe you want to add some more in there around auto-deploy actions per run level...
