Bundle not starting - CQ5

[bhavani_ikkurth]

The status of the bundle in felix console reads as installed. If I try to start it, it wont. I see an error in red when I expand the bundle. I have other bundles started and running without issues. I use maven to build and deploy. Appreciate your help!

org.osgi.framework,version=[1.7,2) -- Cannot be resolved

There are different ways to manage version numbers when using Maven. We recommend not specifying versions becasue like i mentioned -- they interfere. See:

Also -- here is another tip -- you can always see what dependences are available in CQ by using the Dependency Finder.

HTH,

[smacdonald2008]

This means that you are missing a dependency in the OSGi service container. Is the only red package that shows up when you open you bundle in the Felix OSGi view?

Actually - in your bundle Manifest- get rid of the version number.

I do not see a version number in my POM.xml's here. Do you know what artifact that I have to look up?

Good question -- if you open the bundle (that was produced via Maven) in a ZIP tool (I use WinRAR) - you can get to the Manifest file. See here:

Remove the version number that you see in the MF file and then redeploy the bundle. Version numbers interfere with successful deployments sometimes. Let CQ figure it out.
