actual activation of the bundle?
What kind of problem do you anticipate?
Since the code first sets the persistent state to ACTIVE and then does
a lot of work including invoking the activator, there is a good chance
of some exception happening after the state is changed but before
start() returns. In such a case, the code does not reset the
persistent state. Is this OK?
I don't think the code ever resets the persistent state. To do that, you
must call Bundle.stop(). An exception does not reset the persistent
state, it only impacts the run-time state, which is set back to RESOLVED.
