That's right. Require-bundle and localization are both needed to re-test the Equinox extension point mechanism which are now available in Felix. There are probably some other "inconsistencies" between the two frameworks (Felix and Equinox) but these can be determined quickly as soon as I redo the test hopefully by the end of the week. Perhaps Erik can do it sooner with JPOX by downloading the latest sources and building Felix. >> START LEVEL 1 >> ID State Level Name >> [ 0] [Active ] [ 0] System Bundle (0.8.0.incubator) >> [ 1] [Active ] [ 1] Apache Felix Shell Service (0.8.0.incubator) >> [ 2] [Active ] [ 1] Apache Felix Shell TUI (0.8.0.incubator) >> [ 3] [Active ] [ 1] Apache Felix Bundle Repository (0.8.0.incubator) >> [ 5] [Installed ] [ 1] %pluginName (3.2.0.v20060601b) >> [ 6] [Installed ] [ 1] %pluginName (3.2.0.v20060601) >> [ 7] [Installed ] [ 1] %pluginName (3.2.0.v20060603) >> [ 9] [Installed ] [ 1] JPOX Core (1.2.0.b1) >> [ 10] [Installed ] [ 1] Model Plug-in (1.0.0) >> [ 11] [Installed ] [ 1] Jars Plug-in (1.0.0) >> [ 12] [Installed ] [ 1] Main Plug-in (1.0.0) ...
