Equinox p2 without all the eclipse bundles?


Is it possible to use equinox p2 in and simple java application without all the eclipse stuff?

Cause i started with the osgi, equinox and equinox p2 bundles and have been adding osgi bundles for over an hour now. And every time i try to run the program another dependency comes up as missing.

I now already have 109 bundles including a lot of eclipse bundles. Is there maybe an easier way of finding out the minimum required bundles of equinox p2?


Solution

  • The smallest consistent set of equinox OSGi and p2 is provided via OSGi starter kits. Give them a try. From the Equinox Stable Build: Mars click on the triangular OSGi starter kits and download the appropriate version for you platform.
