FAQ Diagnose Bundle Start
Here is how to diagnose problems with a bundle (aka. plug-in) that doesn't want to start:
- Start Eclipse with the command line option "
-console" (this opens an OSGi console) - In this console, type
install file:///C:/path_to_your_bundle - The OSGi console should answer with "
Bundle id is 123", where "123" is a number assigned to your bundle - Now type:
diag 123
This should give you a list of missing dependencies, that prevent the bundle from being started.
