Many thanks Bertrand.
Some progress:
Did you install the required SCR runtime bundles? You need at least
the org.apache.felix.scr (or Equinox equivalent) bundle
I thought org.eclipse.equinox.dr (Declarative Services) could be the
one, but adding it resulted in no effect.
So I added these bundles to the platform (as per the lite launcher
list.xml):
- org.apache.felix:org.osgi.core:1.2.0
- org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.scr:1.4.0
- org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.configadmin:1.2.4
- org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.metatype:1.0.4
- org.osgi:org.osgi.compendium:4.1.0
and their dependencies (resolved automatically by Eclipse).
This time a few components did start, but only the ones that did not
have a configuration (i.e. no variables annotated with @Property). The
others won't start.
The first time I tried it out I was getting, for every component with a
configuration, a ClassCastException:
"org.apache.felix.cm.impl.ConfigurationAdminImpl cannot be cast to
org.osgi.service.cm.ConfigurationAdmin" was thrown.
Then I remade an OSGi config from scratch and the exception was gone.
Still, no components with properties were activated.
I thought org.apache.felix.configadmin was the bundle that would provide
this feature, but maybe I'm wrong?
