Re: [equinox-dev] 2 versions of log4j-core.jar

Hi Tom,

Resources from you classpath should not be leaking into your OSGi environment unless the "osgi.parentClassLoader" is set to either app or framework and you're doing something like setting 'org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=*'.
Can you look at these settings and tell us a bit about the environment you're running.
Also, this is really the dev list. Could we continue this thread in the user newsgroup -- eclipse.technology.equinox.

Thanks.
