Konrad Windszus commented on FELIX-6607:
----------------------------------------
Currently internal plugins are no OSGi services and therefore have no service
id. Defaulting to 0 raises the questions what to make with conflicting external
ones having the default ranking of 0. IMHO there should not be a tie here,
therefore I would propose to always register with the lowest ranking. Register
external ones with a deliberate lower ranking than the internal ones is IMHO
useless.
> Web Console Plugins should have a predictable order in case of label conflicts

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Console
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> In case two web console plugins register for the same label it is currently
> not predictable which is getting used (because the service being started
> later overwrites earlier ones with the same label). The regular
> ServiceReference.compareTo(…) semantics should be used to determine which of
> the conflicting plugins should win.
> Internal plugins which do not rely on OSGi services (and therefore don't have
> a servicereference) should have the highest priority (i.e. should not be
> allowed to be overwritten).
