[equinox-dev] RCP Application doesn't shut down OSGi console

["Volodymyr Babiy" <vbabiy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

We just have one small question to ask.

Current situation:
	We are running independent bundles, which we have 
developed, inside of the Equinox framework. Our problem is 
that when we manually shut down our Application, the OSGi 
console does not automatically shut down. When we run the 
application from our EXE, the OSGi console is not visible, 
but the JARs are still in use after the application is 
manually closed. This problem becomes apparent when we try 
to delete the JAR bundles when we try to uninstall our 
Application. The Application uses the RCP platform, all 
our bundles communicate through Declarative Services, and 
all of our bundles are coded in Java.

Notes:

- When we run our application through Eclipse Plug-in 
Development, the console DOES shut off naturally when we 
close the Application.

Desired outcome:
	We want a safe way to shut down the entire OSGi framework 
right after the user manually closes the Application when 
it runs from the stand-alone EXE form.

So far, the only way we can turn OSGi off is to ensure 
that the console is on, and to issue an ‘exit’ command 
manually, but this is not desirable. We have tried 
deactivating all bundles (including bundle #0) and the 
console remained on. All literature seems to suggest that 
the system should shut down automatically once the 
Application has been closed, but we haven’t been as 
fortunate. We need help in understanding what we are 
missing.

Any help, suggestions, or advice would be greatly 
appreciated by our team.
We would like to thank you in advance for your attention.




Out teem would greatly apparition your help.
Thank you,
