It seems to be an issue with threads being started during the initialization process. My activate function is called (I have put debug statements inside, used breakpoints, etc), and stops on the thread starting call. It has the same behavior even if it is a standard service being started as a bundle activator and I place the thread creation in the start() method. I haven¹t had any issues with threads starting in other places during the OSGi lifecycle, only during startup. I can confirm that the issue is only while running through an IDE, as mentioned by Patrick. The thread starts up fine while run from the command line. Any ideas why Felix would have issues running within an IDE (I¹m using IntelliJ IDEA, but it apparently has problems with Eclipse as well)? I am running by having the IDE call felix.main.Main as its main class, and pass a config.properties file as a VM parameter to start my bundles.
Thanks, Matt
