Hi Kishore,

It seems that you have already defined the symbolic bundle name property "com.aem.sample.workflow.InvokeWorkflow-bundle" in pom.xml but you have to make sure that this name is unique in OSGI where you are deploying this bundle. 

You can also recheck this property in MANIFEST.MF file for cross validation. You can also refer below link to define the symbolic name of OSGI bundle.

http://wiki.osgi.org/wiki/Bundle-SymbolicName

Let me know for more information.

Thanks,

Pawan

Hi Kishore,

in pom.xml's packaging tag use bundle instead of jar  .

replace  tag <packaging>jar</packaging> with  <packaging>bundle</packaging>

I have checked as you said.

I don't have a bundle with the same name and also i have checked MANIFEST.MF file inside the bundle jar ,it does not have property with the name Bundle-SymbolicName.Still i am getting the issue.

Thanks,

Kishore

Hi Chandra

when i am changing packaging jar to bundle,getting error "Project build error: Unknown packaging: bundle ".There seems to be problem with maven-bundle-plugin.

i am able to install the bundle by changing packaging tag value to bundle and also i have <pluginManagement> tag also.
