Peter Kriens commented on FELIX-938:
------------------------------------
Same comments as in other bug report. I think you do not use File Install as
intended. The primary idea of FI was that you have a directory and what is in
there is running in your system. If it fails for some reason, you attempt to
start it again. The advantage of this model is that you can incrementally drop
bundles in there until you get no more errors. I think it is very confusing
that there is a bundle in the watched directory and it is not started.
So whatever you do, please do not change the original behavior. I have no
problem if you add some configuration flag for a directory that is watched that
it should not attempt to start it, but I would not like to loose the current
behavior. Are you sure you need File Install? It sounds more that you want a
method to just install and start bundles from a directory and get going?

> Configure File Install to watch a directory. Add some bundles there. File
> Install will install and start them. Now, using Felix shell or some other
> utility, stop one of these bundles, wait for File Install to loop again. You
> shall notice that File Install will start the bundle again. I think this
> behavior is not desirable. if user has explicitly stopped a bundle, why
> should File Install start it immediately? In act, there is no way to stop a
> bundle other than removing it from watched directory. Removing a bundle from
> watched dir may not always be practical because of file system permission
> issues. So, I think File Install should not automatically restart a stopped
> bundle, at least not in the same framework instance.
