Installing and uninstalling a addon from a script file

[dorel]

Is it possible to install / uninstall a addon from a script file e.g.:

deploy.roo:
perform assembly
addon uninstall old.zip
addon install file:target/new.zip

What happens now is that the restart performed immediately after uninstalling leaves the addon install instruction in a undefined state

Hmm, good point.

In early unreleased versions I did indeed provide a way of stopping the restart operation from happening. I removed it for simplicity, but now I can see it's useful.

I have just committed in SVN revision 472 this change and created Jira issue https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-428 for it. The following now works against SVN trunk, and will in Roo 1.0.0.RC4 and above:

perform assembly
addon uninstall old.zip --automaticRestart false
addon install file:target/new.zip

Thanks for the suggestion.
