We've come across a problem in which the osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation property might work for us. We noticed that intermittently, we get a CNFE from one of our bundle's start() methods when it tries to load one of our own classes from a jar that is on the boot classpath (not a part of a plugin). Is this a known issue and do you think in this case that the osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation property would work? Unfortunately, this isn't easily reproducible and just seems to happen at random.
We're running on eclipse 3.2.2. I saw that this property isn't documented until eclipse 3.3. Was this ever back-ported? Thanks, Jennifer Carlucci Lightweight Infrastructure (949)276-7951 [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMEN! Got it! Woks fine now.thx Oleg On Oct 8, 2008, at 2:06 PM, Thomas Watson wrote: See the osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation option in the Eclipse Help. osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation - if set to "true" then the parent (boot by default) classloader is delegated to as a last resort if a class or resource cannot be found. The default value is "true". When launching Equinox under Eclipse the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher is used to launch the framework (just like when you launch a normal Eclipse SDK instance). Launching equinox this way enables the boot delegation compatibility flag by default. Launching equinox with "-jar org.eclipse.osgi ..." disables this option and Equinox will use strict OSGi delegation rules for boot delegation.

Looks like starting Equinox under Eclipse makes the difference, although I can't see what that would be (checked generated config.ini etc. . . nothing suspicious) Starting the same system bundle from the command line renders the expected results: > java -Dorg.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=org.w3c.* -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar -console -clean osgi>ss id State Bundle 0 ACTIVE org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230 1 INSTALLED OSGiBootDelegationBundle_1.0.0 osgi> start 1 class java.lang.String interface org.w3c.dom.Attr If bootdelegation option is removed CNFE is thrown during start of the bundle Thx Oleg On Oct 8, 2008, at 12:57 PM, Stuart McCulloch wrote: 2008/10/9 Oleg Zhurakousky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Nice to find you here Rob Yes I am certain (here are all the options that are set) -Declipse.ignoreApp=true -Dosgi.noShutdown=true -Dosgi.clean=true One thing I will admit that I am running Equinox within eclipse pde. I'll try from the command line (not sure if it would make the difference) see also: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Boot_Delegation (IIRC Equinox doesn't run in "strict" OSGi mode by default...)

Rob ----- "Oleg Zhurakousky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If I am reading the spec correctly only java.* are loaded from the boot class path. All other packages must be declared with explicit imports. So something like this without specifying org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=org.w3c.* public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { System. out .println(Class.forName( "java.lang.String" )); System. out .println(Class.forName( "org.w3c.dom.Attr" )); } should result in CNFE on the second line. Well, it actually works just fine without bootdelegation option. I figured I missed something, so may be some one can steer me in the right direction.
