Answer 1

Necessary bundles are missing. Add them in run as->run configurations->osgi framework->bundles Add following bundles along with your own bundles and delete others: org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar

org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar

org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0.v201110170705.jar

org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0.v20111215-1210.jar

then click apply and run.

Answer 2

This link provides all the details regarding the new console which is based on Apache Felix Gogo shell: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fconsole_shell.htm

In short steps are:

1. Place the necessary bundles in a folder. The bundles are:

   • org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v<version>.jar
   • org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v<version>.jar
   • org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v<version>.jar
   • org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0v<version>.jar
   • org.eclipse.osgi.jar

2. Create a configuration subfolder put a new config.ini file in it with the following content:

   osgi.bundles=./org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\
   ./org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\
   ./org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0v<version>.jar@start,\
   ./org.eclipse.equinox.console.jar@start,\
   osgi.console.enable.builtin=false
   osgi.console=<port> 
   

3. Start the Equinox framework with this command:

   java -jar org.eclipse.osgi.jar
   

Answer 3

• Go to META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

• Right click Run As/Run Configuration/RAP Application/(Select entry point under this tree node)

• Select Tab Bundles/

• Check org.apache.felix.gogo.command , org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime , org.apache.felix.gogo.shell , org.eclipse.equinox.console

• Click Add requered Bundles

• Click Validate Bundles ==> No Problem was detected

• Apply.

Now run ok.

Answer 4

In the above config.ini osgi.console.enable.builtin=false must NOT be on the same line with the osgi.bundles property. The official documentation seems to have this wrong too.

My config.ini looks like:

osgi.bundles=./org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.10.0.v201209301036.jar@start,\
./org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.10.0.v201209301215.jar@start,\
./org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.10.0.v201212101605.jar@start,\
./org.eclipse.equinox.console.jar@start
osgi.console.enable.builtin=false
osgi.console=4711

Answer 5

Console functionality was removed from Equinox system bundle. Now it should be installed explicitly (felix gogo console).

Download Equinox SDK and copy such files to your equinox plugin folder:

org.apache.felix.gogo.command_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime_0.8.0.v201108120515.jar org.apache.felix.gogo.shell_0.8.0.v201110170705.jar org.eclipse.equinox.console_1.0.0.v20111215-1210.jar

update your config.ini in configuration folder and add such substring to property osgi.bundles
