Hi community,

I tried getting help in a few Newsgroups before but without success. Now I have big hope, that you guys could help me a little.

A year ago I've been following Neil Bartletts superb OSGi tutorial which is btw really really really great work! And I'm really looking forward to get a copy of his book as soon as it's done.

Anyway, I coded a command line tool based on declarative services with a CommandProvider and several Runnable bundles. Now I need to integrate that tool into the buildprocess of some other department within our company. Now there are two problems: a) They want to run it in an read-only ClearCase environment by using a makefile, which means they b) don't want any user interaction. But because of my tool was just developed to be "user interactive", I'm now about to write an wrapper application that launches the Equinox framework and automatically commits the user commands.

It seems to me as if there's something wrong with either the instance of the framework or with my settings, because my code doesn't take any note of my config.ini. There aren't any bundles installed. The only bundle I see is the system bundle. I can read the "ping" done within execute() just before m_consle.run() but nothing more. There's no "pong", no Exception and not even the finally part from main() is done. Btw: starting the framework the usual way like "java -jar -Doutput=bla org.eclipse.osgi.<bla>.jar -console" works just fine! For use with the makefile I want to substitute that with "java -jar -Doutput=bla my_launcher.jar -console"

      m_console.shutdown();

   {
      Bundle[] installed = m_context.getBundles();

      for (int i = 0; i < installed.length; i++)

      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
         // TODO
         System.out.println("ERROR Ooops, something went wrong!");
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }
      finally
      {
         System.out.println("pong " + m_errorcode);
         System.exit(m_errorcode);
      }
   }
}

Here's the config.ini which can be found in configuration directory.

That brings me to my second question: How can I suppress the logging behaviour of the framework? As said above they want to use it in an read-only environment and there should be nothing more than just the bundle cache.

Thanks!
