In the trunk we have modified the framework so that it no longer tries
to log to an available LogService for the time being, so this issue
should be gone. When we have the time, we will try to reinstate the
feature if we can find a suitable workaround.

Thanks for the pointer.
It does appear to be the same problem as discussed here
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03142.html). The
workaround of setting felix.log.level 3 (INFO) gets things working
more reliably.
In the message thread, Niclas Hedhman wondered if there are any other
log services that experience this problem. org.apache.felix.log
appears to.

I would guess this is related to a deadlocking issue that was
discussed previously.
The issue is that Felix uses the external log service (if present) to
log events and sometimes this can lead to deadlocks, apparently. Of
course, this is just a guess on my part. I think there was a
workaround...you can check the archives...or perhaps someone else can
respond.
This issue will likely need further investigation.

I run Felix in Eclipse with a custom config.properties file that
autostarts a few bundles. If I include both org.apache.felix.log
and org.apache.felix.eventadmin in felix.auto.start.1, Felix hangs.
If I remove either org.apache.felix.log or
org.apache.felix.eventadmin or both, everything works fine.
I've attached an example project that has an Activator class that
simply prints when its bundle is started and stopped. If I
autostart both org.apache.felix.log and org.apache.felix.eventadmin,
the example bundle doesn't print its start message and the shell
bundle doesn't display prompts when hitting <enter>. Again, i f I
remove either org.apache.felix.log or org.apache.felix.eventadmin or
both, everything works fine.
If I run from the command line, it will work most of the time,
however, it will occasionally fail in the same way. It appears to
be the same problem but somehow running Felix inside Eclipse
exacerbates the problem.
The attached project includes a README file that describes *exactly*
how to demonstrate the problem.
Can anyone provide some suggestions to help me get this amazingly
simple task working properly?
Thanks,
Tim
