Description

File Install accepts a configuration property 'felix.fileinstall.noInitialDelay' that influences whether File Install should have no initial delay before starting bundles. If this property is set to false (default), File Install will, when started, first wait for the amount of milliseconds specified in 'felix.fileinstall.poll' (the poll interval) before starting to install bundles. By setting this property to true, you indicate that you do not want File Install to wait, but instead want it to start installing bundles immediately.

This property is not documented in the documentation for File Install, published at
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-file-install.html

The property can be found in the File Install source, specifically in file
\felix\fileinstall\src\main\java\org\apache\felix\fileinstall\DirectoryWatcher.java

I asked on the mailing list whether this property was not documented on purpose and there they indicated taht I should create an issue for it.
