Yes, we could use FrameworkEvent.STARTED, but only if we are sure that we listen for this event when it is fired. If the code, which listens for it, is executed after the framework is started, then it will never get the event. This happens in an Activator of a bundle – it may be executed during the initial start of the framework, or after the framework is started (for example on the first start of the bundle after installing it). Therefore we need to be able to check the framework state in one and the same way in both cases.


If you check the system bundle state in your activator, you can see if it is active and if not, then register a framework listener to catch the event, since the framework state can't change while you are in your activator.

Yes, you should use the FrameworkEvent.STARTED event for this. You should probably open a bug so we can investigate the current behavior anyway to see if the comment is valid.

[equinox-dev] Starting the system bundle

Hello,

We are implementing logic which depends on the system bundle being put in ACTIVE state after all bundles, which should be running, are started. However, it turned out that actually the system bundle is put in ACTIVE state just before the bundles are started. This is evident from the method StartLevelManager.doSetStartLevel(…), which is called from the EquinoxLauncher. There is a comment in the code, that putting the bundle in ACTIVE state “should be done just before firing the STARTED event for the system bundle” but is done earlier, because “some depend on the system bundle being in the ACTIVE state when they are starting”. Do you think it is possible to change the current behavior and put the system bundle in ACTIVE state after the other bundles are started, as it is in the OSGi spec?

Kind regards,
Lazar Kirchev_______________________________________________
