FrameworkEvent ERROR on running a Hello World OSGI Bundle

eclipse-plugin, osgi, osgi-bundle

Solution

I struggled a lot for “Workbench has not been created yet” the complete day.

But I got the solution by the following steps.-

- Go to the Run configuration -> Remove all the target platform jars.

- Click on add required bundles.

- Check the org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime, org.apache.felix.gogo.shell, org.eclipse.eqinox.console, org.eclipse.osgi and your jar file.

- The last and important step. Go to Setting-> check the checkbox of "Clear the configuratation area before launching".

- Run the OSGi application now.

- Enjoy if it works for you as it worked for me.

Thanks

Problem

I am a beginner in OSGI. I followed the following tutorial to do a simple Hello World OSGI Bundle in eclipse. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2008/jw-03-osgi1.html?page=2 On running the project, I receive a bunch of errors in the console. Below are these errors: ``` osgi> !SESSION 2013-07-10 23:23:03.340 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=unknown java.version=1.7.0_07 java.vendor=Oracle Corporation BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US Command-line arguments: -dev file:C:/Users/student/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/OSGi Framework/dev.properties -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -consoleLog -console !ENTRY org.eclipse.debug.ui 4 0 2013-07-10 23:23:08.809 !MESSAGE FrameworkEvent ERROR !STACK 0 org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin.start() of bundle org.eclipse.debug.ui. at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:734) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.start(BundleContextImpl.java:683) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker(BundleHost.java:381) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.resume(AbstractBundle.java:390) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.Framework.resumeBundle(Framework.java:1177) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:559) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:544) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.incFWSL(StartLevelManager.java:457) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.doSetStartLevel(StartLevelManager.java:243) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.dispatchEvent(StartLevelManager.java:438) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.dispatchEvent(StartLevelManager.java:1) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.EventManager.dispatchEvent(EventManager.java:230) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.EventManager$EventThread.run(EventManager.java:340) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet. at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.getWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:92) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.contextlaunching.LaunchingResourceManager.startup(LaunchingResourceManager.java:546) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin.getLaunchingResourceManager(DebugUIPlugin.java:357) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin.start(DebugUIPlugin.java:569) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl$1.run(BundleContextImpl.java:711) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:702) ... 12 more Root exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet. at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.getWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:92) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.contextlaunching.LaunchingResourceManager.startup(LaunchingResourceManager.java:546) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin.getLaunchingResourceManager(DebugUIPlugin.java:357) at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.DebugUIPlugin.start(DebugUIPlugin.java:569) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl$1.run(BundleContextImpl.java:711) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:702) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.start(BundleContextImpl.java:683) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker(BundleHost.java:381) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.resume(AbstractBundle.java:390) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.Framework.resumeBundle(Framework.java:1177) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:559) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:544) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.incFWSL(StartLevelManager.java:457) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.doSetStartLevel(StartLevelManager.java:243) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.dispatchEvent(StartLevelManager.java:438) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.dispatchEvent(StartLevelManager.java:1) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.EventManager.dispatchEvent(EventManager.java:230) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.EventManager$EventThread.run(EventManager.java:340) !ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core 4 0 2013-07-10 23:23:10.114 !MESSAGE Provisioning exception !STACK 1 and other similar errors.... ``` Can you please help me to fix this?
