OSGi tutorial

after building your bundle do the following to make jar:

   * Right click on your bundle and select Export. Choose “Plug-in Development->Deployable Plugins and Fragments”.
   * Select destination folder (for example /home/pc/Desktop)
   * Click “Finish”

complete your plug-in:

somedir/
 configuration/
   config.ini
 eclipse.exe
 plugins/
   org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.3.0.jar
   org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.0/
     eclipse_1017a.dll
     [other launcher fragment content]
   org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.jar
   org.eclipse.osgi_3.3.0.jar
   org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.2.100.jar
   < your_bundle1 >.jar
< your_bundle2 >.jar

write config.ini->>

osgi.bundles=< your_bundle1 >.jar@start,< your_bundle2 >.jar@start
osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start, org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start
  eclipse.ignoreApp=true
  osgi.noShutdown=true

for linux, set up is same, just change the eclipse.exe, org.eclipse.equinox.launcher,org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32 with their linux version.

Now, execute the following command:

eclipse -console

A new console will appear.
