Yes, but hardly advisable unless you have Way Too Much Time™ on your hands. > I've searched for these kind of things and found OBR(?) but > unfortunately topics aren't too clear on this subject. OBR is for now under-specified and only implemented in the most simplistic way.

I use this every day - including hot-updating bundles from my maven repo into a running runtime - and haven't manually installed bundle dependencies in forever. Disclaimer: I work for the company, but not directly on Nimble. If you think you can reinvent this on your own..good luck. :) Holger --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
