Re: [equinox-dev] Question about Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy and Activators

It depends what you want to achieve. 

If you want the activator to run lazily, only when a class is loaded from the bundle for some other reason (eg because it contributes an extension) then that is exactly what BAP:lazy does. 

If you don't have that class loading trigger, then you will have to find a way to start the bundle non-lazily (in this case the BAP:lazy is not needed, but also doesn't hurt anything). Unfortunately in Eclipse it's very hard to actually start a bundle, because the platform doesn't want you to.
