Problems when deploying plug-in with p2

[Ivy Michels]

Hi all,


I'm facing a little problem when trying to deploy my new plugins using the p2 update feature, because they do not start automatically.

Steps that i did:

1 - created a plug-in project (singleton, without activator because i don't have 2pack)
2 - created a feature that includes the plugin project
3 - exported with buckminster using "site.p2" (i tryied this step using Export from Eclipse too)
4 - Created a script updateMyPlugins.sh on the server (based on update.sh)
5 - run the updateMyPlugins.sh with correct parameters
6 - The installation is fine and everything looks OK

But when I run the application server, the plug-in is not working as expected.

Then using Felix or telnet OSGi console I can see that my plug-in status is "RESOLVED". To fix that, I need to manually start the plug-in, then reload all.

By doing this everything works OK...

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but someone can give a hint on how making this plug-in starts automatically when installed using p2 and/or when the application server is started.

Thanks!

Try this this way to automatically start the bundle installed by p2:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3077282/in-equinox-is-it-possible-to-to-mark-an-osgi-bundle-as-started-from-its-containi

I just follow it by creating p2.inf under META-INF folder in bundle, add one line config:
instructions.configure = markStarted(started: true)

But by this way, after installed by p2, I have to restart idempiere-server to have bundle working. Don't need manually start the plug-in, but you have to restart whole idempiere-server.

A question for Ivy, how can you see your bundle installed by p2 display in Felix or in Osgi console without restart whole idempiere-server?

A question for all, how can I deplay and start the bundle installed by p2 WITHOUT restart whole idempiere-server? (I know how to install and start it by Felix and OSGi console in runtime, but the question is for installing by p2)

BR,

Ken
