> What happens if someone puts `log4j-core` in start level 1 and `log4j-api` in start level 2? Will this solution work anyway or the bundles must be in the same start level? In theory you do not need to modify the start levels. You already have the implementation where the `api` searches for the `impl` OSGi Service. Which throws an exception in an eclipse environment as described in the linked issue. Because Equinox, in contrast to Felix, does not activate every bundle by default. With this change Equinox should activate the bundle when it is accessed and the exception should no longer be thrown as the bundle context is there and the `impl` service should already be registered as it is indexed in the startup. So the service can be found using the OSGi Service lookup. So no need for any manual startlevel or autostart configuration and OSGi just has to do it's magic. But feel free to test it, I only tested it in our quite large setup, maybe it behaves differently in other cases. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
