[jira] Commented: (ACE-56) Cross IDE debugging solution

["Marcel Offermans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-56?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12985218#action_12985218 ] 

Marcel Offermans commented on ACE-56:
-------------------------------------

How relevant is this patch? It's been around for a while, and probably could be updated to work with the new Maven build, but mostly I use a remote debugger whenever I want to debug an ACE node (server or target). Moving to OSGi 4.2 and using the new launcher API should make this patch a lot easier though.

Toni, do you still want to pursue this?

> Ace is a complex system where short buid/test cycles are important.
> I have a small "instantlauncher" part that makes it possible to use dev-targets directly IDE. Because they are standalone Main Class, they can be started right away in any IDE.
> Benefits:
> - short dev cycle because it uses core/conf/<targetname>/ and its configuration information directly via inspection.
> So, for example a complete dev-server-webui launcher looks like this
> {code}
> public class DevServerWebUI
> {
>     public static void main( String[] args )
>         throws Exception
>     {
>         new DevelopmentLauncher().launch( new AceReactor( new TargetDescriptor()
>         {
>             public String targetName()
>             {
>                 return "dev-server-webui";
>             }
>             public String[] settingsOverwrite()
>             {
>                 return new String[]{
>                     "org.apache.ace.configurator.CONFIG_DIR=core/conf/" + targetName()
>                 };
>             }
>         }
>         )
>         );
>     }
> }
> {code}
> Because it uses bundles from core/deploy/bundles directly, redeploy cycle is minimal.
> Question: Is this of general use in ace or should i keep it for myself.
> The solution builds on top of the FrameworkFactory API from OSGI Core R4.2. So it does not contain any framework relevant compile references.
