How to build jar

Gradle is configured with bnd gradle plugin in, simply run the jar command will do. It will generate META-INF/MANIFEST.MF by reading bnd.bnd.

Check Jar

jar xf build/libs/osgi-hello-idea-1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Gogo command:

start file:/<path-to-bundle.jar>
start 4
stop 4
update 4 # when the jar is re-build
