-runbundles* REPO-ENTRY ( ‘,’ REPO-ENTRY )*
Description: The runbundles instruction is used to specify which bundles should be installed when a framework is started. This is the primary mechanism to run applications directly from bnd/bndtools. A bundle listed in -runbundles can be either a workspace bundle (a bundle created by one of the workspace’s projects) or a bundle from one of the configured repositories. Note that all required bundles to run the application should be listed, transitive dependencies are not handles automatically so that there is full control over the runtime.

  The runbundles instruction is used to specify which bundles should be installed when a framework is started. This is the primary mechanism to run applications directly from bnd/bndtools. A bundle listed in -runbundles can be either a workspace bundle (a bundle created by one of the workspace’s projects) or a bundle from one of the configured repositories. Note that all required bundles to run the application should be listed, transitive dependencies are not handles automatically so that there is full control over the runtime.

  This list can be maintained manually it is normally calculated by the resolver. That is, when a resolve is run then it will, without warning, override this list.

  For example:

      -runbundles: \
      	org.apache.felix.configadmin;version='[1.8.8,1.8.9)',\
      	org.apache.felix.http.jetty;version='[3.2.0,3.2.1)',\
      	org.apache.felix.http.servlet-api;version='[1.1.2,1.1.3)',\
      	...
      	osgi.enroute.twitter.bootstrap.webresource;version='[3.3.5,3.3.6)',\
      	osgi.enroute.web.simple.provider;version='[2.1.0,2.1.1)'

  ## Start Levels

  Some launchers support startlevels and the `-runbundles` instruction therefore has a `startlevel` attribute. This attribute must be a positive integer larger than 0.

      -runbundles: \
      	org.apache.felix.configadmin;version='[1.8.8,1.8.9)'; startlevel=100,\
      	org.apache.felix.http.jetty;version='[3.2.0,3.2.1)'; startlevel=110,\
          ...

  Since the common workflow is to use the resolver to calculate the set of run bundles, any start level settings would be overridden after the next resolve. There are the following solutions.

  Use the [-runstartlevel][2] instruction to let the resolver calculate the start level ordering. In that case the resolver will add the `startlevel` attribute.

  Use the decoration facility. With the decoration facility you can augment the `-runbundles` instruction by specifying the `-runbundles+` property. The keys are glob expressions and any attributes or directives will be set (or overridden) on the merged `-runbundles` instruction.

      -runbundles: \
      	org.apache.felix.configadmin;version='[1.8.8,1.8.9)',\
      	org.apache.felix.http.jetty;version='[3.2.0,3.2.1)',\
      	org.apache.felix.http.servlet-api;version='[1.1.2,1.1.3)',\

      -runbundles+: \
          org.apache.felix.servlet-api;startlevel=100, \
          *;startlevel=110
