I am running a very simple osgi bundle whose activator looks like this
public void start(BundleContext bundleContext) throws Exception {
JAXBContext con = JAXBContext.newInstance(Activator.class);
}
This always throws exception
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in com.test.bundle.Activator.start() of bundle com.test.bundle.

isn't javax.xml shipped with java 1.6 ? I also tried adding javax.xml bundles but that didn't solve the issue.
You will need to be sure that you import the javax.xml.bind package or the JAXB public API bundle in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file.
