You can install an exploded bundle JAR file by specifying a URL like:

The path should point to a JAR file that is exploded in the exact structure of a bundle JAR, such as if you simply did a "jar xf" on the bundle.

That should say, "The path should point to a directory that is exploded..."

You will not necessarily automatically see changes in the framework...generically you will still need to do an "update" on the bundle to see the changes and you could run into problems if you are using native libraries...

Is there a way to install an expanded bundle?

Basically, it would be nice if I could do something like 'install
classpath:/home/jtoth/project/bin" which would have the MANIFEST/MANIFEST.MF
and classes as a bundled jar.  Its nice to be able to use hot class
swapping, plus if the MANIFEST/MANIFEST.MF changes to automatically 'update'
the bundle.

Then I could even autostart all the bundles in development...

felix.auto.start.1= \
classpath:/home/jtoth/project/bin ...

Or is there any other way to develop bundles than packaging them?

Thanks
