I am currently trying to get a bundled started in Equinox.
This bundle requires commons-logging.
I tried including the latest commons-logging jar from Maven Central. No luck.
I then moved to slf4j. This is my current status from the OSGi console:
11 ACTIVE jcl.over.slf4j_1.6.6
12 ACTIVE slf4j.api_1.6.6
Fragments=14
14 RESOLVED slf4j.simple_1.6.6
Master=12
In the logs I see the following exception:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-07-09 11:36:56.157
!MESSAGE Error starting bundle: initial@file:/C:/test/slf4j-simple-1.6.6.jar

What is the best way to get a commons-logging compatible bundle up and running in Equinox 3.8?
slf4j-simple is a fragment and fragments cannot be started.
Did you list it in your config.ini with @start at the end? Just remove that.
