Problem of Bundle Start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all, i introduce my function request.

I want to start a single bundle by using the OSGi Framework provided by openHAB 
runtime.

But i donnot hope my bundle has some communication with openHAB runtime.
just let openHAB runtime to start my bundle.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I use eclipse IDE to produce a simple HelloWorld bundle, in class "Activator"

public class Activator implements BundleActivator {

    /*
     * (non-Javadoc)
     * @see org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator#start(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext)
     */
    public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Hello World!!");
    }

    /*
     * (non-Javadoc)
     * @see org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator#stop(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext)
     */
    public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Goodbye World!!");
    }

}

2. I pack the bundle into a .jar file. then, i put the .jar file to "addons" 
subdirectary. As i know that openHAB runtime will start bundles in the 
subdirectary.

3.but when i start openHAB runtime, i find that my HelloWorld bundle's status 
is "STARTING".
in the dos command line, donnot print the information "Hello World!!" defined 
by function "start"in class Activator.

so i guess openHAB runtime donnot start my bundle.

There is no general problem with openHAB - it definitely tries to start 
whatever you put into the addons.
So the problem must be with your bundle. Reading 
http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html#STARTING, 
could it be the case that you defined your bundle to be lazily started?

we should move over to Google-Group and try to analyse your problem in more 
detail!

Could you first the send the content of the MANIFEST.MF to the group?
