Re: [equinox-dev] Bundles remaining in life cyle "Starting".
Surely the other answer was right and I confused both states. Thanks for the clarification and sorry for my bad input  :(.

No sorry this is not right. Alex and Tom’s answer was correct. Please refer to section 4.4.6.2 of the OSGi Core R6 specification for details of the Lazy Activation Policy and its impact on bundle lifecycle.

Unsatisfied imports such as in your example would cause a failure of resolution, leaving the bundle in INSTALLED state.

Regards,
Neil

Hmm, I would say they remain on such state due a missing class (or any other problem while loading B in memory)

For instance, plugin A imports class B which imports class C. If C is not available A will remain in the Starting state for ever.

Alex is correct.  Things in the STARTING state are waiting to be lazily activated on first class define.

I think they’re placed into that state if they are lazily started, i.e. they have a BundleActivationPolicy of ‘lazy’. 

http://wiki.osgi.org/wiki/Bundle-ActivationPolicy

I think it goes from ‘starting’ to ‘started’ when classes have been loaded from the bundle.

Hi,

I frequently see lots of bundles remaining in the life cyle status "Starting". Is this expected? I would assume that "Starting" is a temporary status and that once a bundle has finished starting, it becomes "Active".

Best regards, Lars
