Still struggling with admindaemon/gui due to OSGI errors re: classpath

[mendosoft]

I've yet to get the admin up and running under OS X 1.4 Tiger. Dunno if it's cuz I'm not on Linux but I doubt it. I can run any of this stuff under Eclipse, but the OSGI bundling gives me these errors re: getting access to common-logging.jar:

I've tried to work this out myself but it's just not happening - and I'm burning time I need to spend elsewhere....

Any ideas? TIA.

Workaround found....

So the problem with OSGI was that I was using different versions of common-logging and mysql-connector than what was showing up in the OSGI config.

A symlink between the standard versions of these jars to my newer versions seemed to fix the problem and I can now run the admindaemon and the cli commands.

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 23 Apr 14 12:17 /opt/open-xchange/lib/commons-logging.jar -> commons-logging-1.1.jar
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 34 Apr 14 13:37 /opt/open-xchange/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.1.13-bin.jar -> mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar

I'm not sure if I can tell OSGI to use these other jar versions or not (?), but at least I'm up and running now.

Thx.
