Thorsten Meinl commented on CXF-6347:
-------------------------------------
As I said the bundle is *not* started by Equinox, therefore the activator is
not called (which is OK). You need the additional bundle header to force a
start.
I don't want to use Karaf or anything else. It would work perfectly without any
additional stuff if this header was added. Currently this is a blocker for all
Eclipse-based applications.
> CXF bundle activators not called in Eclipse/Equinox

> Key: CXF-6347
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6347
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: OSGi
> Affects Versions: 3.0.4
> Environment: Eclipse 4.4
> Reporter: Thorsten Meinl
>
> The CXF bundles have OSGi activators that perform initialization stuff such
> as looking for CXF services in other bundles. However, in Equinox the bundle
> activators are not called unless one explicitly starts the bundles. The
> default strategy in Equinox is not to start bundles, unless the
> "Bundle-ActivationPolicy" is set to "lazy". Therefore this header should be
> added to all bundles so that CXF (esp. the client) is also usable inside an
> Eclipse application.
