Hi Rob, Can you open a bug to track this. I am wandering if you start the Equinox instances in parallel or if you stop and start new instances sequentially. If you start them sequentially can you simply restart the same Equinox object instead of creating a new one?

Subject: [equinox-dev] ClassLoader incompatibilities due to
EquinoxFWClassLoader
In our tests for dm Server we are firing up an Equinox instance many times
in the same VM and after the first invocation (which loads Equinox types
with the app ClassLoader), our tests fail because Equinox types are loaded
with an EquinoxFWClassLoader. This behaviour cannot easily be stopped
because the FrameworkProperties.inUse() method always returns true.
The issue for us in using EquinoxFWClassLoader is that we get test failures
due to class incompatibilities. In our case, we load StateObjectFactory in
the first test run, and for that run the instance of State that the Equinox
types see is the same as those seen by StateObjectFactory. For subsequent
runs, Equinox types are loaded from the EFWCL and are not compatible with
the types that dm Server has previously loaded.
The simplest solution for us is to be able to clear the
FrameworkProperties. A better solution for us is to prevent the use of
EFWCL.
