Description Darin Wright

Follow from bug 306684:

When the workspace or target platform contains more than one instance (different versions, or possibly the same version) of a single bundle present, an error or warning should be created. Generally, at launch time, it is bad to have more than one instance of a singleton.

The target state removes duplicates of the same version currently, but does not automatically remove duplicates when different versions of the same bundle are present (not sure how it would decide on which to remove).

Also investigate issues w.r.t products.

See also bug 290634.  The validation on launch configs checks for multiple copies of a singleton bundle.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
