EIK for Karaf 4.1 vs Bndtools

[Oleg Cohen <ol...@assurebridge.com>]

Greetings,

I have been working with Bndtools for a while but ran into major JAR locking issues on Windows. Also, the more bundles I have in the application mix the more time it would take to rebuild dependencies.

I took another look at EIK and I was able to get it to work for the latest Eclipse Oxygen and Karaf 4.1.3. I would like to pass the code to the Karaf team somehow … Let me know what would be the best way.

Also, I have a question. All works fine with EIK, except at the very beginning, until the boot features are loaded, I get errors about unsatisfied dependencies for my bundles. Is there a way to suppress these warnings from equinox or delay the starting of the components until the features/bundles are loaded.

Thank you,
Oleg

Hm... EIK looks pretty cool...
 https://github.com/apache/karaf-eik

(That said: running a plain karaf and using remote debug from eclipse,
and "bundle:watch *" gives me a pretty good code and debug workflow, as
it is...)

Hi JB,

Sure, I would be happy to do the update. Can you please let me know what
needs to be done and how.

Regards,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Unfortunately, EIK is not really maintained.

I'm ready to do the update but I would be more than happy if you are interested 
to help and contribute ;)

JB
