Thanks for noticing this, we will look into it.
Though if IIRC in previous version of eclipse you had to start the console 
explicitly.

Subject: [p2-dev] Question about p2 console activation policy

Hi,

I've downloaded and unzipped Eclipse Classic 
(eclipse-SDK-4.2-win32-x86_64.zip), started it, opened the Console View, and 
opened Host OSGi Console. Now, if I try to run one of p2 commands, I get the 
following error:
osgi> provlpquery
gogo: CommandNotFoundException: Command not found: provlpquery

If I list the status of p2 bundles, they are as follows:
osgi> ss p2
"Framework is launched."

The org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console bundle is stuck in STARTING state no matter 
how long one waits, and this seem to be correct behaviour according to 
http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html#STARTING, 
because the bundle MANIFEST.MF contains Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy, and will 
not be started until one of its classes is accessed. However, if it is not 
started, it does not have a chance to contribute its commands to OSGi shell. 
Once I start the bundle, everything works fine.
osgi> start 100
osgi> provlpquery
Please enter a query
osgi> ss org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console
"Framework is launched."
id      State       Bundle
100     ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console_1.0.300.v20120429-0125

There must have been a change in equinox behaviour recently because other 
projects seem to struggle with the same issue: 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-5664 Do you know why this problem has 
arised and if somebody should fix it by removing the Bundle-ActivationPolicy: 
lazy line from p2.console's manifest?


Kind regards,
