Re: [equinox-dev] what does equinox cache ?

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The framework does cache manifest entries.
 Webstart will replace bundle jars when new ones are available but
does not use an OSGi APIs to tell the framework that the bundle has been
updated.  This can cause old entries of your manifest to be used with
new content.  It sounds like you may have run into bug 152835.  See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152825.
