• Modify classes/kettle-lifecycle-listeners
  • Remove listener entry for PdiOsgiBridge
• Modify classes/kettle-registry-extensions
  • Remove registry-extension entry for PdiOsgiBridge

Optional (for disk usage savings):

  • org.apache.aries.*.jar
  • org.apache.felix.*.jar
  • org.apache.karaf.*.jar
  • pdi-osgi-bridge-*.jar
  • pentaho-osgi-*.jar

Log4J Error Message Fix:

• Remove plugins/kettle5-log4j-plugin

This works like a treat for Kitchen in PDI CE v8 too - many thanks! However, Spoon won't launch due to dependencies on OSGI still. Any ideas if that could be fixed through config changes or is a rebuild from source required?

Hello friend,
I'm using the Kitchen in PDI CE 8.1
and have a delay problem when i start my ETL from .bat (using the Kitchen.bat). In evert call the system tryin do:
org.apache.karaf.main.Main launch
Installing and starting initial bundles
org.apache.karaf.main.Main$KarafLockCallback lockAquired
and many other process, making mt ETL most slowest.
You know a possible solution?
