I am getting this when starting org.eclipse.equinox.registry

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/osgi/framework/BundleException
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.EclipseBundleListene r.addBundle(EclipseBundleListener.java:177)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.EclipseBundleListene r.processBundles(EclipseBundleListener.java:90)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.RegistryStrategyOSGI .onStart(RegistryStrategyOSGI.java:224)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.ExtensionRegistry.<init>(ExtensionRegistry.java:725)
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.RegistryFactory.createRegistry(Regi stryFactory.java:58)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.Activator.startRegis try(Activator.java:137)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.Activator.start(Acti vator.java:56)

My config.ini says:
osgi.bundles=\
org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start,\
org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent@3:start,\
org.eclipse.core.jobs@3:start,\
org.eclipse.core.runtime@3:start,\
org.eclipse.equinox.registry@3:start,\
org.eclipse.equinox.preferences@3:start,\
org.eclipse.core.contenttype@3:start,\

The System bundle which is org.eclipse.osgi at [0] is exporting org.osgi.framework

The Manifest.MF on org.eclipse.equinox.registry imports org.osgi.framework.

I haven't seen this reported elsewhere.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I have never seen this. It is quite strange because the class org.eclipse.core.internal.registry.osgi.Activator implements org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator so we know that the registry bundle's class loader is able to load some at least some classes from the org.osgi.framework package.

What version of equinox are you using?

Tom.

Tom

Thanks for your reply

I am starting equinox with

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100517.jar

and am using

org.eclipse.equinox.registry_3.5.0.v20100503.jar

I have used the property:

org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra= \

in config.ini

in order to acquire access to some further packages and I also have

eclipse.ignoreApp=true
