Remarks

• Option org.ops4j.pax.runner.platform.clean is not supported directly by the framework so as work around runner will try to remove the cache profile folder. If this succeeds then the profile is clean before Felix starts.

Installation guide

This bundle is part of Pax Runner so if you are using pax runner you have nothing more to do about.
If you wanna use the bundle as a standalone bundle you could install it using the following methods:

Manual installation

• Download the latest version from http://repository.ops4j.org/maven2/org/ops4j/pax/runner/pax-runner-platform-felix/
  • java >=5.0: 0.16.0
  • java 1.4: 0.16.0
• Deploy the downloaded bundle to your preferred OSGi framework
