[jira] Commented: (FELIX-512) Sort files before installing

["Peter Kriens (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-512?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12575643#action_12575643 ] 

Peter Kriens commented on FELIX-512:
------------------------------------

I do not think this is a good idea. The whole idea of fileinstall is that you can do drag and drop and download from the web. File are also only installed when they have changed on the file system. The installation is therefore by definition unordered. Ordering by file name would give a false impression of order that would not exist in real life.

Get over it, there is no startup order in OSGi :-) Bundles should handle the dynamics and dependencies correctly or it will fail in the long run.

> Make the component sort the files  it reads before it installs them, that way we can use names as in Linux's rc directories:
> 100_bundle_one
> 110_bundle_two
> 120_bundle_three
> etc.
