This is quite normal behaviour. Depending on your service declaration, the Declarative Services Runtime (SCR) might not start your service due to some services references which cannot be satisfied. > Since I am using the preference services I have to use the > "org.osgi.compendium-0.9.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT" bundle and in order to use > declarative services I am using the > "org.apache.felix.scr-0.9.0-incubator-SNAPSHOT " bundle.

This is one of the great things about OSGi :-) Multiple bundles may provide the same packages (to not create needless dependencies) and the framework will then decide which packages to actually use. In your case the framework might decide to create wires for the org.osgi.service.component package to the osg.osgi.componendium bundle and not to use the same package from the scr o.a.felix.bundle at all. In short, it is the task of the OSGi framework to resolve these collissions and frameworks are very good at that :-) > Can someone help me out with the issue as to why I am unable to run the > declarative service bundle inside Felix? As I said earlier, this might be due to an unsatisfied service requirement of your declared component. Hope this helps. Regards Felix
