External bundle repositories [Collection]

The external bundle repositories are bundle repositories that are available outside of WebSphere® Application Server. If your OSGi applications reference bundles that are stored in an external bundle repository, you must add a link to the repository to the set of external repositories listed on this panel. The provisioner can then retrieve the bundles when required.

When you import an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file as an asset, or update an asset to use new bundle versions, or add a composite bundle as an extension to a composition unit, provisioning ensures that all the required OSGi bundles are available. An OSGi application can use bundles from external repositories, bundles from the internal repository, and bundles that are included in an EBA file or a composite bundle archive (CBA) file.
