Re: [equinox-dev] Parallel bundle activation?
Neil and Gunner are correct.  I also question the motivation to running activators in parallel.  In implies some kind of design flaw because you must have some long running BundleActivators if you want to run them in parallel.  You are better off investigating why you must have long running BundleActivators.

Hi Lars,
 
Activation of a bundle happens when the launcher calls Bundle.start(). You can certainly write a launcher that calls start() on many bundles concurrently from multiple threads.
 
Most existing launchers, including AFAICT the default Eclipse/Equinox launcher, call start() in series.

Hi,

can Equinox perform bundle activation during startup in parallel?

For example, lets assume I have two bundles A and B which have no
dependency to each other. Both should be activated during startup. Can
this be done in parallel? Or is the current code single-threaded?

Best regards, Lars
