Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
Hi,
I really need to debug my code by the use of breakpoints, however this
seems a complex undertaking with an OSGi container.
I have Eclipse and Felix (both the latest). My project is a raw OSGi
project, I am not using PDE, just maven bundle plugin to generate the
bundles and then copy them to the /bundle folder in felix, then I
perform java -jar bin/felix.jar and the project runs. So no fuss here.
However I cannot debug the application that way. I've tried to read the
docs
(http://felix.apache.org/documentation/development/integrating-felix-with-eclipse.html)
but they are outdated/broken and cant make them work...
How can I debug this? Will I have to avoid using OSGi just because debug
is not supported...? :(
Thanks!

I just followed the tutorial on the bndtools site.
I think they do not explicitly describe debug as it just works like in a
non OSGi eclipse project.
You just start the launcher project in debug mode and can work with your
break points.
One nice thing is that you can simply change source, save and continue
debugging in the running session.
The above is also possible in karaf with remote debug and bundle:watch *
but less convenient as you have to do a maven build on the changed
projects.

Is there a tutorial showing how to achieve that with bndtools?

Pedro,
You are using an unstable, alpha version of Bndtools. Please install the
latest stable release, version 3.0, by following the instructions at:
http://bndtools.org/installation.html
Also I strongly recommend following the tutorial first so you get an
understanding of bnd(tools) concepts: http://bndtools.org/tutorial.html
Regards,
Neil

Re: Need help debugging Felix OSGi bundles (with Eclipse)
Posted by Pedro Domingues <pe...@ist.utl.pt>.
I am trying with bndtools but I am being slaughtered without mercy.
I have like 30 bundles or so. I choose one of the main bundles and
followed these instructions
(http://bndtools.org/tutorial.html#run-an-osgi-framework), he created a
*.bndrun* file in my bundle's root directory with the following:
/-runfw: org.apache.felix.framework;version='[4,5)'//
//-runee: JavaSE-1.7//
//-runsystemcapabilities: ${native_capability}//
//
//-resolve.effective: active;skip:="osgi.service"/
However this happens when I try to edit the file in Eclipse:
http://i.imgur.com/FYKDnvE.png
However this looks a bit far from what I want. It seems this .bndrun
will import a felix.jar from somewhere else, but in fact I want to use
the one I have in C:\code\osgi_proj\deploy\bin\felix.jar because I
already have there all the bundles I need and the configurations (unless
for some debugging limitation eclipse needs to directly inject the bundles).
Can this be done, or I will need to deeply modify my project in order
for this to work?
Thanks!

If you only need plain felix then eclipse + bndtools might help.
I just tried the new 3.0.0 version and was able to setup as small
project in quite short time.
It features very nice debug integration.
Apart from this remote debugging always works but is less convenient.

Hi, you should investigate "remote debug" with Eclipse which involves starting Java with some parameters and creating a Debug Configuration in Eclipse.

Debug with breakpoints works ok for me, I run karaf with the debug
option and attach the same I would a tomcat app. I will say that
somewhere I lost something because even though the ide stops at the
correct line of the breakpoint and I can see the variables I am
watching. The libraries included from the ide don't match with what is
loaded because I do not get the green line and step into and over don't
work. I also can debug with paxexam but I think OSGI is definitely much
harder than many other technologies. I don't have a problem with this
though. I chose java even though it is much harder to pickup than
dynamic languages. I like type safe languages because even though there
is more work involved in specifying the rules and it is slower to get
started. Cleanly specifying the rules allows for better tool support and
is priceless once a project gets large. I feel the same way about OSGI.
It is more work upfront but once you really know what you are doing it
saves a lot of work in the long run. It would be great if things were
easier at no expense but that is not what drew me to karaf. Also you
will be competing against many commercial entities for users who are
looking for easy enterprise and distributed computing (Typesafe, Spring
...) so I am not sure that is the way to get more people involved. I
think concentrating on the type of person who is willing to take the
time to learn and configure their project so they have an optimal
solution for the long term would probably pull in more people.

Debugging of OSGi runtimes is of course possible, and I have never had a problem with it — aside from the occasion difficulty in tracking down source code for third-party dependencies.
What IDE or tool would you usually use to debug a Java application?

Didn't try that. Isn't that too overkill? Does it work exactly as a normal debug in eclipse?

What goes wrong when you add:

to the java command line and then attach from Eclipse?
