--------------------------------------

             Summary: Support reference: URLs
                 Key: JBOSGI-589
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBOSGI-589
             Project: JBoss OSGi
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: JBossOSGi 1.1.1
            Reporter: Harald Wellmann
            Assignee: Thomas Diesler


While this is not an official OSGi standard, Equinox, Felix and Knopflerfish all support  {{reference:file:}} URLs for provisioning bundles in place, without copying them to the OSGi storage area.

This works both for JARs and for directories (exploded bundles), e.g.

{noformat}
reference:file:/path/to/my/bundle.jar
reference:file:target/classes/
{noformat}

For interoperability of frameworks, it would be useful for JBoss OSGi to support this protocol.
