It is a command line tool to generate a repository xml for a list of bundles. The instruction is as follows.
-
Obtain the tool
a) Build the tool from Aries trunk.
The easiest way to obtain the tool is to download the aries trunk, navigate
to the 'application->application-tooling-repository-generator', and then run mvn install, copy all jars from the the target directory.
-
Execute the command line tool
java -jar org.apache.aries.application.tooling.repository.generator-xxx.jar [repository xml location] url1 [url2...]
Note: The text under the [] is optional. If [repository xml loaction] is absent, the repository.xml file will be generated under the current directory.
The xxx is the maven version of bundle org.apache.aries.application.tooling.repository.generator, e.g. 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.
The file: protocol - url can be a file or a directory, all valid bundles under that directory or subdirectory will be included in the repository xml (no need to list every single jar).
Following is an example of generating a repository xml for all the bundles under the directory of c:\temp\test\jars recursively and a bundle located under http://aaa.com/public/Aries/obr/test.b1/test.b1_1.0.0.jar.
The repository xml is saved under c:\temp\test with the file name of repo.xml.
java -jar org.apache.aries.application.tooling.repository.generator-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar c:\temp\test\repo.xml file:///C:/temp/test/jars http://aaa.com/public/Aries/obr/test.b1/test.b1_1.0.0.jar
