Custom Felix launcher and auto-property
Hello,
As the auto-property processing has been moved to the launcher, what is the new way to specify to a custom Felix launcher to start a list of bundles at startup? I mean, I can no more use the "felix.auto.start" property to set the bundle locations. Moreover, it seems that this part of the documentation is out to date.
Thank you for your your help.
François

I have committed the changes with some modifications, but it should be
good to go...let me know if you run into any issues.

I have added the AutoActivator class into my project, waiting for the
validation of your patch, and it works perfectly.
As the code concerning the processing of the auto-property has been
externalized and thus can be reused, I think that this solution requires
small modifications for all developers who have to use the last Felix. I
have myself done only minimal changes.
Thank you again.

François,
Please check out the following JIRA issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-448
I have attached a patch to propose how to modify Main so that
auto-property handling happens in a separate class that can simply be
reused by people creating their own custom launchers.
Input and feedback is appreciated.

Yes, the documentation needs to be updated...I will try to get to that.
The way you should do this now is pretty much the same way that Felix'
default Main.java does it. It adds a custom framework activator to
automatically install/start bundles. You should be able to use it as a
template for your own launcher...you can see that there is one method
called from the custom activator (Main.processAutoProperties()) that
does all of the processing that was previously done internally, so you
pretty much just need to copy that method.
Sorry that this change makes it a little more complicated, but it didn't
really make sense to be baked in. I will try to think about a way to
simplify this situation...perhaps by separating out the functionality in
some way so that it can be directly re-used.
