----------------------------------------

             Summary: Exception from bundle.start() should be logged, not swallowed
                 Key: FELIX-5448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5448
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: File Install
    Affects Versions: fileinstall-3.5.4
            Reporter: Michael Vorburger


based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41092687/how-to-see-why-bundle-requirements-are-not-fulfilled-in-apache-felix-log/ :

Isn't it a bug that File Install silently "swallows" (ignore, drops; does not log) any issues thrown when it (re)loads bundle and bundle.start() them?

Or are there valid use cases and reasons I'm missing why this "sinking" of bundle load errors may be intentional?

It's definitely a PITA to discover e.g. load issues by having to manually go into a Console, and lb and start - instead of just seeing them in the log.

Would a code contribution proposing a fix for this be welcome?
