Customizing OSGi Runtime Management
mToolkit allows you to customize remote management of OSGi frameworks - you can configure mToolkit to automatically connect to frameworks which have been already connected by third party Eclipse plug-ins, or to have information about OSGi management logged:
- Select Window > Preferences .
- Browse the Preferences dialog and locate the mToolkit preference page.
- Under the Remote Management preference category if needed use the following options:
- Activate
automatic connection to OSGi framework instances when a third party
plug-in opens such a connection - check the Enable OSGi Frameworks automatic connection option.
- Activate logging of events in the Error Log view - check the Enable extended logging option.
- To have a bundle automatically started upon install, select Autostart bundles on install.
- To view the bundles of a connected framework in the Frameworks view grouped by category, select Group bundles in categories.
- Under Certificates specify the own certificates (certificate and private/public key pair) which can be used to sign bundles and deployment packages upon deployment on a connected OSGi framework. Signing is activated individually for each OSGi framework in the relevant connection settings (see "Adding/Removing an OSGi Framework").
Use the Add button to specify a signer by keystore type and location, and signer alias within the keystore.
Note: To be able to use the alias for signing, the passwords protecting the keystore and the private key associated with the alias must be the same.
- To save the changes:
- To apply the changes and exit the Preferences dialog, click OK.
- To apply the changes and to continue using the Preferences dialog for setting specific preferences, click Apply.
