Description

File Install is meddling with bundles that are out of it's jurisdiction.

Bundles that have already been started manually and are not in any directory specified in the felix.fileinstall.dir property, are being stopped and restarted by File Install when File Install is started.

e.g.:
– Properties
felix.fileinstall.dir=./bundles/deploy

– Files
bundles/manual/

_ bundle.a.jar

_ org.apache.felix.fileinstall.jar bundles/deploy/

_ bundle.b.jar

_ bundle.c.jar

With the above setup File Install is starting bundle.b.jar, bundle.c.jar and restarting (stop/start) bundle.a.jar which is not under it's control.
