I am trying to go through tutorial from OSGI and Apache Felix 3.0 book and
one of the the examples is to use IPOJO Annotation and Meta.xml. When I
deploy application to Felix the application runs fine but if i try to lookup
help iside Felix Gogo shell, I get error: gogo: ClassCastException:
java.lang.String cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.String;
Here is the code with annotation:
