Run latest Equinox with gradle/maven tool

Question

An answer to How to start osgi console (Equinox) suggest that more files are needed than just org.eclipse.osgi.jar

How to run (i.e. download and execute, or copy to a distribution folder) with maven or gradle?

Answer 1

Download the equinox jars adding the below dependencies in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.osgi</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.eclipse.osgi</artifactId>
    <version>3.7.1</version>
</dependency>

Start the OSGI runtime and login to the documented port (6667 for Felix) to use the CLI

The console could also be started using the following commands

java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.0.jar -console
