How to start
I am very new to Felix, and I need some help to start. I was trying to
follow a tutorial on
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-usage-documentation.html and got
stuck.
First of all, how to download and install. On the download page I see many
jar files. If I want to start Felix and play with it, what is the minimum
set I have to download?
It says there:
---------------------
Start Felix from the installation directory by typing:
java -jar bin/felix.jar
_________
How do I get the "bin/felix.jar" ? Which package contains that?
Since it is supposed to be an executable jar, I guessed it might be
"Main", so I downloaded that. But it is called
"org.apache.felix.main-1.6.0.jar", not "felix.jar".
Then I tried it:
java -jar org.apache.felix.main-1.6.0.jar
and I got the following:
No config.properties found.
Welcome to Felix.
=================
Then it hangs.
So basically I need to understand the following:
1. What to download and where to put it.
2. How to configure and start it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Leonid

I've got quite a few tutorials on my website. Check out http://techdistrict.kirkk.com/2009/02/19/osgi-post-summary/
.
Then, take a look at the Simple OSGi Service and OSGi and Embedded
Jetty examples. There are a few others that show some different
development scenarios, as well.

Essentially:
org.apache.felix.framework-1.6.0.jar + Main.class ==
org.apache.felix.main-1.6.0.jar == felix.jar
We only rename it to felix.jar to make it a little easier to type.
It sounds like we need to update our getting starting document to
mention which file to download...

Main is just the project assembling the zip that you downloaded + the
launcher class (the main class launched when you execute java -jar bin/
felix.jar).

Thanks Clement, that worked.
Just wonder: what is the purpose of org.apache.felix.main-1.6.0.jar ? Is
it just a part of felix.jar ?
