Note: These steps are for adding a OSGI bundle NOT already included as part of the Rifidi Edge Core plugins (example bundles included are MySql, AWS, Esper. Spring - see Jumpstarts for examples on hwo to use)

• from a .jar file without a osgi manifest http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseJarToPlugin/article.html

high level summary below

• 1). For the bundle you want to export, go to META-INF/Manifest.mf in eclipse
• 2)Press "Export Wizard". Select a directory to export to. If you wish, you can select multiple bundles to export at this time. Default options should work fine for the rest.
• 3)Press "Finish". Jars for all bundles selected should end up in the folder you chose.
• 4)Transfer the jars to the "plugins" folder in a rifidi install. Replace any jars with the same name. There is a file called "bundles.info" in "configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator". If you added any new jars, or incremented the version of any existing jars, you'll need to update this file to reflect
• 5) update bundles.info in server/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator

example bundles.info entry

oracle.jdbc.driver,1.0.0,plugins/oracle.jdbc.driver_1.0.0.jar,4,true

• 6) Once RIFIDI Edge starts at OSGI prompt type ss to verify bundle is ACTIVE
