What you are doing is not particularly OSGi-y... The expected way to do this is to have each bundle register their PlcDriver or Transport to the OSGi service registry.
That said, what you have done is otherwise fine, as you basically trying to centralize the BundleActivators away from respective Driver/Transport. And I assume you do so to limit code in the drivers/transports. Another way would be to make two generic BundleActivator in this bundle and have each driver/transport just declare them in the manifest. That would be a bit more conventional. // Niclas On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 11:06 AM Robinet, Etienne <43...@etu.he2b.be> wrote: > Hi all, > With the change of Christofer this problem got solved.
