Using variables in config.ini property OSGI.bundles

Config.ini file is having the property osgi.bundles which contains the list of plugins that needs to be started while launching my RCP. For Eg.:

osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.junit_4.8.2.v4_8_2_v20110321-1705/@4,reference\:file\:org.mortbay.jetty.server_6.1.23.v201012071420.jar@4,reference\:file\:org.mortbay.jetty.util_6.1.23.v201012071420.jar@4

Clarification : I need to use the Java variables/Environment variables in the reference of the plugins. So that I can make my RCP more flexible. Please suggest a solution.

I need something like below:

osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:{ENV.USERDIR}/org.junit_4.8.2.v4_8_2_v20110321-1705/@4

Here when trying the load the bundles, JUNIT bundle should be loaded from the replaced from the environment variable USERDIR as.

c:/users/username/org.junit_4.8.2.v4_8_2_v20110321-1705

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Vikram

This is supported in org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_V1.3.0 or higher. You can use the environment variables like

$variable_name$/bundle-name.jar.

While parsing the config file, The launcher will substitute the value of the variable and start the bundle from the specified location.
