javax.annotation : osgi uses constraint violation [message #1839140] Mon, 15 March 2021 11:20 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello all,

i have an app using an embedded jetty server with rest compatibility with jax-rs and glassfish.jersey for supporting multipart forms.

I updated rcp from 4.6 to 4.14 ( embeded jetty server from v9.3.9 to v9.4.24 ) and glassfish.jersey from v2.25.1 to v2.33

it compile fine but when starting the app, osgi does not succeed to resolve my plugin because of a uses constraint violation of 'javax.annotation'.

i'm getting this error :


org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Impossible de résoudre le module :myRestPlugin[832]
  Bundle was not resolved because of a uses constraint violation.
  org.apache.felix.resolver.reason.ReasonException: Uses constraint violation.

the java version is 1.8.

It would be highly appreciated if someone has any tip for me how to solve this.

Thanks a lot !

It looks like your bundle, myRestPlugin, has Require-Bundle to org.eclipse.osgi ("require: (osgi.wiring.bundle=org.eclipse.osgi)") and a Require-Bundle to org.glassfish.jersey.media.jersey-media-multipart ("require: (&(osgi.wiring.bundle=org.glassfish.jersey.media.jersey-media-multipart)(bundle-version>=2.33.0))"). Both of these expose your bundle to different javax.annotation packages. The best solution is to not use Require-Bundle. It is not a best practice (despite its regular use in Eclipse). You are far better off importing packages which allows the better resolve solutions.

Thanks BJ Hargrave for your replay

I solved the problem by adding 'javax.annotation' as required bundle at fist to force osgi to pick up the good implementation :

Require-Bundle:  
 javax.annotation,
 org.eclipse.osgi,
 ...
 ...


I m using required bundles certainly because it's simple and it is easier to quickly get a clear view of what components my plugins depends upon.

A mix of require bundle to add internal dependencies and import package to add external dependencies may be more convenient for me.
