Re: [equinox-dev] Console behavior change?

Hi,

The behavior with Indigo is the same. By default the p2.console bundle is listed as <<LAZY>> and if you issue a p2 command all you get is the help messages for all registered commands - which the old console does when it cannot find the command. The new console prints it cannot find the command instead. When you start the p2 console bundle on Indigo, the p2 commands work - just as on Juno.

Does that ring any bell to anyone involved in the console work?

Subject: [p2-dev] Question about p2 console activation policy

Hi,

I've downloaded and unzipped Eclipse Classic (eclipse-SDK-4.2-win32-x86_64.zip), started it, opened the Console View, and opened Host OSGi Console. Now, if I try to run one of p2 commands, I get the following error:
osgi> provlpquery
gogo: CommandNotFoundException: Command not found: provlpquery

If I list the status of p2 bundles, they are as follows:
osgi> ss p2
"Framework is launched."

The org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console bundle is stuck in STARTING state no matter how long one waits, and this seem to be correct behaviour according to http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html#STARTING, because the bundle MANIFEST.MF contains Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy, and will not be started until one of its classes is accessed. However, if it is not started, it does not have a chance to contribute its commands to OSGi shell. Once I start the bundle, everything works fine.
osgi> start 100
osgi> provlpquery
Please enter a query
osgi> ss org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console
"Framework is launched."
id	State       Bundle
100	ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console_1.0.300.v20120429-0125

There must have been a change in equinox behaviour recently because other projects seem to struggle with the same issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-5664 Do you know why this problem has arised and if somebody should fix it by removing the Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy line from p2.console's manifest?
