Re: [equinox-dev] buddy classloading & bundle activation

I'm not an expert on this, but it doesn't
sound like the desired behaviour.  I think the bundle should only
be activated when a class is actually loaded from it.  I suggest entering
a bug report against Equinox Framework.

Subject	[equinox-dev] buddy classloading & bundle activation

hi all,

me again with a buddy classloading issue...

If a bundle does buddy classloading, then the classloading magic will
try to load the requested class from each bundle in a given set (all,
dependent, registered, ...). If any of these bundles has a
Eclipse-AutoStart header they will be started, even if they don't have
that class. In the worst case, with a global buddy policy and a
non-existent class, every AutoStart bundle will be activated.

Is this intended behaviour, or should these bundles only be started
when a class is really loaded ?

Tom
