How Pax Runner helps you

• Quick start up
  You have a set of bundles you just developed or wanna test? Just place them all in the same folder, start a command prompt, go to your folder and type "pax-run". That simple.
• Easy run on different platforms
  If you need to run your set of bundles under different platform runner helps you. You just have to type the name of your platform. That simple.
• Easy running in different contexts
  As runner supports multiple provisioning sources, you could easily define sets of bundles that should be installed together with your bundles. You could for example have sets of bundles that you use in different development lifecycle steps, like dev, test and production. Or maybe you wanna test how your bundles behave depending on the availability of different services.
