OsgiEquinox / Eclipse plugin ============================ OsgiEquinox / Eclipse plugin provides hotswap support for Eclipse plugin or platform development (Do not confuse it with common development in Eclipse!). Configuration ------------- Following options should be setup in eclipse.ini for debugee Eclipse instance: # use application classloader for the framework -Dosgi.frameworkParentClassloader=app # development classpath that is added to each plugin classpath -Dosgi.dev=[extra_classpath] # use dcevm as JVM -XXaltjvm=dcevm # enable hotswapagent -javaagent:PATH_TO_AGENT/hotswap-agent.jar # enable remote debugging on port 8000 -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 extra_classpath points to directory with compiled classes. When a new class is compiled it is sent by remote debugger to HotswapAgent. HotswapAgent stores this file into extra_classpath directory. It is also necessary to setup following hotswap-agent.properties: extraClasspath=[extra_classpath] osgiEquinox.debugMode=true then connect the IDE debugger (eclipse, netbeans or idea) to port 8000 and happy hotswapping! #### Implementation notes: ## TODO:
