Bug during bundle deployment using eclipse tooling?

[koxo]

Hi

I am experiencing very annoying behavior when developing osgi bundles within eclipse when using SpringSource Eclipse Tooling. I have a bundle deployed into dm Server running from inside Eclipse. When I make a change to MANIFEST.MF and save it, this bundle gets automatically redeployed as expected.

At this point, I see this in console output:

<SPDE0010I> Deployment of 'org.xyz' version '1' completed.

However, when the change I make causes bundle to fail during the deployment because of the missing Import-Package statement which ultimately causes java.lang.ClassNotFoundException, I get this output:

<SPDE0011E> Deployment of 'org.xyz' version '1' failed.

Trying to fix it, I get this behavior. I go and change the manifest by adding the missing Import-Package statement and re-save. Bundle gets redeployed automatically again, this time successfully, but the name and version of the deployed bundle is incorrect. This is what I see in console output:

<SPDE0010I> Deployment of 'org.xyz.jar' version '0' completed.

Please note that '.jar' is added and version changes from 1 to 0. This also causes that other bundles relying on this bundle won't get deployed as org.xyz_1.0.0 is not available.

As a workaround I found out this sequence of steps:

1. I go to manifest editor Runtime tab
2. Click on Properties for an exported package.
3. Remove any version for that Export-Package statement.
4. Click OK
5. Click on Properties for an exported package again.
6. Add 1.0.0 version for that Export-Package statement.
7. Click OK
8. Save

At this point, bundle gets redeployed automatically again, but this time correctly as:

<SPDE0010I> Deployment of 'org.xyz' version '1' completed.

Any idea what might be wrong?

This sounds like a bug in dm Server that I should investigate. I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I'd appreciate you raising an issue on the issue tracker if you wouldn't mind.

As pointed out by Glyn on the JIRA we couldn't reproduce this problem on the very recent development version of dm Server and corresponding tools. I was able to reproduce it with the the 1.0.0 GA version.

Ok, I'll give it a go once 1.0.1 version is released. Thanks.
