Description wannes.kerckhove

2011-06-10 06:11:15 EDT

I'm developing a large OSGi based project in Eclipse. I've had some weird random classloading issues concerning the javax.servlet classes, as I have javax.servlet (2.5.0) installed and checked in my run configuration. I'm 100% sure my OSGi bundle dependencies are correct as it works 90% of the time and we have a production build running perfectly on Apache Felix. The problem usually gets fixed when I click on "Set as target platform" in my target definition a few times and try to run the project again.

My co-developers are experiencing the exact same issues (also using Eclipse and the embedded equinox).

Since today however, the problem got worse for some reason and I can't run the project in Eclipse anymore, due to these servlet classnotfoundexceptions. The "Set as target platform"-trick doesn't seam to work anymore. The codebase or the setup config haven't changed...

This is getting really frustrating!

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.
