Question about bundle class loader lifecycle

Can someone shed a ray of light on when exactly a bundle's classloader is (supposedly) made eligible for GC? I'm working with native code and while it is not required to re- or unload my bundle, it would be nice to have a better grasp of potential lifecycle issues. Right now felix (on Windows)

Re: Question about bundle class loader lifecycle

There is no well defined time. A class loader is garbage collected just like any other object. I.e. when there are no direct strong references to it. Objects refer to their reflective Class objects. And each Class object refers to the ClassLoader that *defined* it from raw bytes. When you

Using OBR in host application

Hi Felix users, I'm trying to use the OBR service in an application, which embeds felix. This is what I'm doing: 1. Start the framework in the host application: private void startOsgiFramework() { // Create a case-insensitive configuration property map. MapString, Object

Re: Question about bundle class loader lifecycle

RE: How does your development environment look like?

One thing I've been using a lot lately is the sling Maven plugin, specifically the install goal. I bind this to the Maven install phase. This allows me to start up Felix with the Web Console running and simply run 'mvn install' (or the corresponding menu item in Eclipse) and get my project built
