Installing a PAR Project to an OSGi Runtime

You can install the bundles in a PAR file from the workspace on a connected OSGi framework if there is a dedicated active PAR Project.To install a PAR from your Eclipse workspace, in one of the Eclipse navigation views (e.g. Package Explorer) right-click the PAR Project node and select the target framework from the Install to menu. If the framework is not registered in Eclipse, select the Select OSGi Framework option from the Install to context menu option and define the framework connection settings in the shown Install to dialog.

Upon installing, the plugin projects within the PAR Project will be built and exported to JAR files. Then, the JAR files will be transferred to the OSGi framework and installed.

On success, the installed bundles will appear under the Bundles node of the framework-specific tree in the Frameworks view.

Updating a PAR Application

You can update and/or change the contents and properties of a PAR application project. If you reinstall an already existing PAR to an OSGi runtime, an update dialog will pop up and prompt you to select the PAR application to be updated.

The PAR application update dialog needs the Remote Manager Application Agent bundles to be installed. Note that these bundles are not included in all Bosch IoT Edge Services SDKs.
