I think this issue would effect Felix 1.2.1 too. In Felix 1.2.0 we added initial support for fragments, but since we don't have full fragment support we decided to throw an exception if an installed fragment was using features we did not yet implement, thinking this would save people time debugging.
Turns out, there were a lot of people who were just installing fragments into Felix even though we didn't support them. Previously, we had just been ignoring fragments. The change from ignoring to throwing an install exception apparently issues for people. We are close to a Felix 1.4.0 release that incorporates a configuration property to disable the install exception and just log a warning, thus effectively ignoring fragments that we do not support. Doesn't seem like a great idea, but it will potentially alleviate this issue for some people until we have full fragment support. -> richard Mike Smoot wrote: > Hi All, > > I've run into a problem with my project which I'm able to reproduce > with the > http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct/examples/SPRING_OSGI_EXAMPLE > script.
