I am trying to get the osgi server from the Eclipse Juno release and run it autonomously. Some old tutorials say that just grabbing org.eclipse.osgi_VERSION.jarenough to run it from the command line as
java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_VERSION.jar -console
When I try to do this, it does not display the invitation as expected, but instead sits quietly, as if waiting for something.
However, I can comfortably run and install packages, performing ./eclipse -console, which, obviously, is not an option when working on a server where I want to deploy packages at runtime.
Some search robots showed that I needed to collect jars (even Apache Felix gogo) from here and there, but could not find anything concrete that would allow me to launch this thing "without a head."
Is there a way to do this in a clean and easy way, or would you suggest upgrading to Apache Felix?
