| = Directory structure |
| |
| The directory layout of a Karaf installation is as follows: |
| |
| * `/bin`: control scripts to start, stop, login, ... |
| * `/etc`: configuration files |
| * `/data`: working directory |
| ** `/cache`: OSGi framework bundle cache |
| ** `/generated-bundles`: temporary folder used by the deployers |
| ** `/log`: log files |
| * `/deploy`: hot deploy directory |
| * `/instances`: directory containing [instances|instances] |
| * `/lib`: directory for additional libraries |
| ** `/lib/ext`: directory for JRE extensions |
| ** `/lib/endorsed`: directory for endorsed libraries |
| ** `/lib/boot`: directory for system libraries |
| * `/system`: OSGi bundles repository, laid out as a Maven 2 repository |
| |
| TIP: The `data` folder contains all the working and temporary files for Karaf. |
| If you want to restart from a clean state, you can wipe out this directory, which has the same effect as |
| [using the clean option|start-stop#Starting Karaf from clean]. |
