Changes in 2.2.2

This page describes the changes since bndtools 2.1.0.REL. Changes in bnd (which is used internally in Bndtools) can be found here.

The easiest way to install this plugin is from the Eclipse Marketplace. You can also do this manually from the Eclipse install command. The update site is http://bndtools-updates.s3.amazonaws.com

You can download the release from GitHub or CloudBees continuous integration server.

Notes

• Bndtools now requires at least Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo SR2)
• Existing workspaces should update their cnf/buildrepo/biz.aQute.launcher to version 1.0.6 to fix issues with paths containing whitespace.
• We're deprecating using a *.bnd file for run configurations, which is why we're no longer showing the 'Run Requirement/Resolve' panel on the Run tab in the bnd.bnd file. Best practice is to create special bndrun configurations.

New

• Baselining is now fully supported (Neil Bartlett)
• JPM integration (Neil Bartlett)
• Support for Felix Dependency Manager (Paul Bakker)
• Support for Amdatu (Paul Bakker)
• Updating version information without releasing is now possible (PK Söreide)
• New Blueprint XML file wizard (Tim Ward, Neil Bartlett)
• Bndtools can now generate a Gradle build file (Experimental & disabled for release) (Paul Bakker, Ferry Huberts)
