Is there a way to make org.eclipse.ocl.ecore work in Felix?

I just encountered a very nasty surprise. I am using some third party bundles that depend on the org.eclipse.ocl.ecore, which in turn depends on org.eclipse.runtime. The bundles in question run nicely in equinox but not in Felix. Class casting exceptions arise when one tries this. The tragedy is I have other bundles that are fine in Felix but problematic in equinox. To top it off, Felix is my production platform.

Everything works great outside OSGi.

Thanks all

Hi

Please use the OCL newsgroup for OCL discussion.

However this seems like an Equinox issue.

There is very little/no significant OSGi code in org.eclipse.ocl.ecore
so I suspect that the problem lies in your launcher. After all it can be
run standalone. Does EMF work fin? What are the CCEs ?

Bottom line. If you want to run in an unsupported configuration you may
have to debug the problems. Please report back with any useful solutions.

Regards

Thanks Ed,

Yes, EMF works fine. it's the *ocl* clutch of bundles that are at issue. Everyone of them requires org.eclipse.runtime.

I'll look for the ocl group and try again.

Hi

If EMF works fine, its probably a silly problem.

What are the CCEs?

Actually it's not just a silly problem:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328227

But it looks like I'm close to a solution that would make model and edit
bundles work in Equinox or in any OSGi container.

To support this fully does require changes in existing MANIFEST.MF as
well as changes in the bundle activator implementations, but hopefully
there will be a generated solution for all those things.

Hi

"it's a silly problem" was predicated on "EMF works fine". Clearly it
doesn't.

Good to see someone working on it. Hopefully the solution will be useful
for derived EMF projects too.
