Hi,

I am not sure if this should be in the OSGi mailing list or in this forum so I post it in both locations. Please ignore if you feel this is the wrong location.

In an OSGi Framework application, that has been working for months, I, all of a sudden, get the BundleExceptions below. I have cleaned projects, cleared the configuration area, restarted the machine, reverted back all changes to a known working revision, created a completely new Activator from scratch. All to no avail.

If I inspect the bundle jar (after exporting as pluging) everything appears to be there, and in the right location.

It appears to me that either Eclipse (4.2) is truly confused, or something is seriously broken. I have no idea how to fix it though. I mucked around with Bundle-Classpath in the manifest, but that didn't seem to have an effect either. Again, this project used to work just fine.

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here, and how to fix this?

I have included the relevant parts of the project below.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Erwin

Problem solved.

After another day of head scratching I tried, just for fun and giggles, to change the default output from <bundlename>/target/classes to <bundlename>/bin, and lo and behold, the Exception disappeared and the bundle starts again.

I have no idea what happened here, and I am not ready yet to try to figure that out either... too afraid I will end up dead in the water again.

Wanted to share the information though, in case somebody else runs into the same issue.


Cheers,

Erwin
