felix.fileinstall.noInitialDelay

[Stijn de Witt <st...@planon.nl>]

Hi all,

I was looking through the source code of File Install and it seems it has a configuration property "felix.fileinstall.noInitialDelay" which, if set to true, will make File Install not wait for the Poll interval (specified by felix.fileinstall.poll) before starting to install bundles.

The source file I am referring to is \felix\fileinstall\src\main\java\org\apache\felix\fileinstall\DirectoryWatcher.java.

Judging from the code, if noInitialDelay is set to true, File Install will start installing new bundles immediately. If it is set to false (default), then File Install will first wait the amount of time specified in poll, which by default is 2000ms, and only then start installing bundles.

My question:

Is there a reason that this property is not documented on this page:
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-file-install.html
?

Could it be that this property is 'private' and may still change in the future? Or was it just an oversight and should it actually be on that page?

Any insight will be appreciated,

-Stijn
