Starting a bundle

The Web Console is a developer tool and must not be used in production.

When you start a bundle, it begins operating within the framework, i.e. gets/registers services, creates threads, registers listeners, etc. Before that, the bundle is only installed, i.e. only its exported packages are available to other bundles.

To start a bundle, click the button from the Actions column of the corresponding bundle's field. Its state will change to Active.

If you have problems starting a bundle, this may be due to unavailable packages that this bundle imports or to an incorrect header in the bundle's manifest. Go to the Log Service page of the Web Console and see the logged messages. You must install the bundles exporting the missing packages to be able to start your bundle.
