Hi Alex, I still have no clue on how to resolve the issue.
While looking at the code of the codec in the 'DefaultLdapCodecService' class I saw we're accessing the "org.apache.felix.framework.*" packages to launch a new Felix instance. Looking back at the Manifest of the 'org.apache.felix.framework' bundle (attached at [1]), I found that this packages is marked as private: > Private-Package: org.apache.felix.framework,[...] That might be the cause of Studio issues. As well as the fact that both Eclipse and this Felix bundle embeds and exports 'org.osgi.*' packages, making it complicated for bundles importing such packages to select which bundle to use. For those who are not aware of the situation, in the 'm1' branch Studio cannot be launched anymore. Most of our plugins are being "invalidated" and not resolved by Eclipse OSGI container. The situation is the consequence of the introduction of Felix in the codec part of Shared. I will try to dig some more. Any help appreciated. ;) Regards, Pierre-Arnaud [1] - MANIFEST.MF file from bundle 'org.apache.felix.framework' version 3.0.8: > Manifest-Version: 1.0 > Built-By: pauls > Created-By: Apache Maven Bundle Plugin > Bundle-License: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt > Bnd-LastModified: 1296420512109 > Export-Package: org.osgi.service.packageadmin;uses:="org.osgi.framewor > k";version="1.2",org.osgi.framework.hooks.service;uses:="org.osgi.fra > mework";version="1.0",org.osgi.service.url;version="1.0",org.osgi.ser > vice.startlevel;uses:="org.osgi.framework";version="1.1",org.osgi.fra > mework;version="1.5",org.osgi.framework.launch;uses:="org.osgi.framew > ork";version="1.0",org.osgi.util.tracker;uses:="org.osgi.framework";v > ersion="1.4" > Bundle-Version: 3.0.8 > Ignore-Package: java.lang,org.osgi.framework.hooks.service,java.nio.ch > annels,java.net,android.dalvik,org.osgi.service.startlevel,java.secur > ity,javax.security.auth.x500,org.osgi.framework,dalvik.system,java.la > ng.reflect,org.osgi.service.packageadmin,org.osgi.service.url,java.ut > il,java.lang.ref,java.io,java.security.cert,org.osgi.framework.launch > ,java.util.zip,org.osgi.util.tracker,java.util.jar > Bundle-Name: Apache Felix Framework > Bundle-Description: OSGi R4 framework implementation. > Build-Jdk: 1.5.0_22 > Private-Package: org.apache.felix.framework,org.apache.felix.framework > .cache,org.apache.felix.framework.capabilityset,org.apache.felix.fram > ework.ext,org.apache.felix.framework.resolver,org.apache.felix.framew > ork.util,org.apache.felix.framework.util.manifestparser > Bundle-DocURL: http://www.apache.org/ > Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 > Bundle-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation > Bundle-SymbolicName: org.apache.felix.framework > Tool: Bnd-0.0.255 On 8 févr. 2011, at 23:37, Alex Karasulu wrote: > Pierre, > > If you cannot find a solution to our new problem, we may have to write > a separate codec service implementation just for Studio.
