In my case the resolver just fails without being able to resolve so it would 
probably not make a very good test scenario. Could you elaborate on how the 
uses constraint could be involved in the symptoms I am seeing? Thanks,

Really difficult to say without more details, but as a guess perhaps some other bundle foo is importing org.w3c.dom with a different version which causes it to get wired to the system bundle's export. If the foo bundle is exporting a package foo.bar that uses org.w3c.dom and your bundle 34 imports foo.bar, then it will have a conflict.

When running my application bundles under Felix 2.0.1 I am experiencing the 
following constraint violation:

        DEBUG: Constraint violation for 34.0 detected; module can see 
org.w3c.dom from [27.0] and org.w3c.dom from [0]
        DEBUG: Constraint violation for 34.0 detected; module can see 
org.w3c.dom from [27.0] and org.w3c.dom from [0]

Looking at the import definition for bundle 34 (my application bundle) I can 
see that it references:

        org.w3c.dom;version="3.0"

The export definition from bundle 27 (Xerces 2.9.1):

        org.w3c.dom;version="3.0"

The export definition from bundle 0 (Felix System Bundle)

        org.w3c.dom;version="0.0.0"

In this scenario I would expect the resolver to select the package from the 
Xerces bundle but from the constraint
violation this seems not to be the case. Is there a way to force the resolver 
to use the Xerces package or to remove
the org.w3c.dom export from the System Bundle? Thanks,

The spec says the resolver should favor already resolved packages over
unresolved packages (i.e., resolved packages have higher. However, in
this case, if your bundle imports version 3, then it should not be
looking at version 0 at all. I would guess that there is a uses
constraint causing the issue and it is not related to choosing the wrong
version.

You can modify the org.osgi.framework.system.packages property to not
include org.w3c.dom. It is a little bit of a pain, but if you look
inside the felix.jar you will see a default.properties file. If you copy
that file and put it into the conf/config.properties file, then you can
modify the default values to exclude the offending package.

Does your above scenario end up resolving or does it end up detecting
constraint violations for a long time or just error and not resolve? If
it does take a long time, I'd be interested in being able to re-create
it, since I am working on a new resolver which is intended to address
such issues and it would be nice to have another test scenario.
