Riena-ForceStart is something proprietory that we invented and are not really happy about it. However consider this.
Your client has a dependency to riena.core and maybe riena.communication.core. Now it tries to start a remote service
proxy for the protocol proxy. You will probably know that you need riena.factory.hessian for this. However even if you
include riena.factory.hessian in the list of bundles for your started configuration, it will not get activated until a
class in there is accessed (thats what lazy loading does).

There is no way that we found so far to activate a bundle that your code has no direct or indirect dependency on. Code
that is in a bundle that creates an OSGi Service that you need indirect. Thats what Riena-ForceStart is for. It forces
all bundles that by its nature no one has a direct dependency on. riena.core does the check on Riena-ForceStart when
riena.core is activated.

Not sure if we will continue that way so dont rely on that we activate bundles with that header. :-)

Autostarting bundles can also be achieved by setting
osgi.bundles property in your config.ini

This is to my knowledge the only "official" way to kickstart bundles and
bypassing the lazy loading scheme

right....using config.ini is a specified standard way.

However often you use a generated config.ini file, because its easier while you develop and add or remove bundles.
Config.ini are also under the control of the customer who sets up the finished software. So thats a little late if the
base framework that the customer's application relies on needs a certain bundle to be started. Then you want a
mechanisme to force the framework to work properly. Thats why we invented this property for the time being (until there
is a better approach)
