[jira] Created: (FELIX-524) Support Environment variables for getting the load directory for FileInstall

Support Environment variables for getting the load directory for FileInstall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-524
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: File Install
            Reporter: Peter Kriens


Currently, File Install only looks in the System properties for the name of the the load directory. I want to use it inside Eclipse (getting tired of update manager) but then it would be nice if file install could be get the load directory from an environment variable. This way, when I install a new Eclipse I only have to install file install and load my extra bundles from one location. If it was a property, I would have to edit configuration files.

I added this in my local aQute copy, if nobody takes up the maintenance of this unit then I can do it if I get commit access

[jira] Resolved: (FELIX-524) Support Environment variables for getting the load directory for FileInstall

Peter Kriens resolved FELIX-524.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Will now try to read environment variables if the property is not set. A . in a property key is translated to a _ to make sure there is no confusion, env. variables usually have _ as separator character

I needed this one (with "Environment variables" you mean data retrieved by "System.getenv" , correct?) lately.

I've added my changes to this item.
