Build Identifier: 3.6.0.v20100422-1745

I have an application deployed with this structure:

configuration
  --> config.ini
plugins
  --> several plugins, RAP and BIRT included
org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.3.0.v20090312.jar
org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100422-1745.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.6.0.v20100315.jar
my.starter.bundle

I developed it using org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090520,org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.5.0.v20090520-1800,org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.3.0.v20090312.jar, as described in Equinox Quick Start (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/documents/quickstart.php), and it always worked fine.


The flow at startime was this: at equinox start (i run this command: java -jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090520.jar -console 5555), the framework installs and starts the common bundle, the update.configurator bundle and my starter bundle.
My starter bundle, at Activator.start, reads a file with the list of bundles to start; all these bundles have to be installed by update configurator.

With the new org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100422-1745, the update configurator can't start using config.ini.
In the log, i found this error:

!MESSAGE Bundle org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.3.0.v20090312 [2] is not active.

Now, THE STRANGE BEHAVIOUR is this: if i start equinox 3.6 from command line, and manually install the common and the update configurator bundles, i can start update configurator without any problem.
This is my config.ini file:

osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start, org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start, osgi.tkdata.bundle.impl.starter@5:start
eclipse.ignoreApp=true
osgi.clean=true

Reproducible: Always
