Embedded Support

Embedded support addresses the cases where the machines already exist or are created manually.
Therefore, it covers existing (physical) machines, devices (such as cards) and virtual machines created manually (e.g. with Virtual Box).

To install it, open the DM’s interactive mode and use one of the following options.
With the roboconf:target command:

# The version will be deduced automatically by the DM
roboconf:target embedded

Or with the native Karaf commands:

# Here in version 0.6
bundle:install --start mvn:net.roboconf/roboconf-target-embedded/0.6

With this configuration, you need to start the agent directly.
And you will have to pass it some information by hand (like the IP address of the messaging server).
This is achieved by updating the net.roboconf.agent.configuration.cfg file under Karaf’s etc directory.

Sample target.properties.
Just copy / paste and edit.
