From the console, what state are the bundles in after calling refresh? I suspect they are in the STARTING (actually lazy starting) state. This means they are waiting for the first class load and then will be acivated. In equinox we have had lazy activation since day one, before it was in the OSGi specification. As such we do have a compatibility option which is enabled by default that marks any lazy activate for start once it is installed. Also see p2 bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177641.
I suspect you are seeing a case where the two lazy activation bundles you
installed being marked for using the lazy start policy upon installation
which makes them ready to start as soon as they get their first class load.

Subject: [equinox-dev] Bundle lazy activation
Hi guys,
I’m experiencing a strange bundle “auto start” behavior – let’s have two
bundles which are declared to be lazy activated, first providing a class
referenced by the second one.
After installing them and calling refresh, I start the “consumer” (via
console command) which in turn activates the other one. I checked the spec
and it says:
“A lazy activation policy indicates that the bundle, once started, must not
be activated until it receives the first request to load a class”
I’m confused because I haven’t started the provider explicitly and I
expected it to be in resolved state and not to be activated at all. Do I
miss something?
Test bundles attached.
Thank you,
Katya
