Re: can bundles depend on each other

Yes this is possible, as long as you install them both before trying to resolve either (and remember, starting means implicitly resolving).

So if you do the following, it will work:

1) Install A
2) Install B
3) Start A and B

However if you do the following, it will not work:

1) Install A, start A
2) Install B, start B

Note that while circular dependencies can work, there are a host of reasons why they're a bad thing. But I hopefully don't have to spell these out.

I'm new to osgi, obviously perhaps.

I have two bundles that both depend on the other one; seems like a circular issue. Can they resolve like this? Right now, one of them complains that it can't resolve one of the packages that it its importing from the other one.
