[jira] [Created] (FELIX-4616) BundleRepository ResourceComparator violates comparison contract

James Scott created FELIX-4616:
----------------------------------

             Summary: BundleRepository ResourceComparator violates comparison contract
                 Key: FELIX-4616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4616
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: bundlerepository-1.6.6
            Reporter: James Scott


The ResourceComparator use to sort resources by presentation name may cause the Arrays.sort to throw IllegalArgumentException if bundles without a bundle name are present.

This occurs because -1 is always returned if two compared resources do not have a bundle name.
This violates the sgn(x,y)=-sgn(y,x) for all x,y.

This forced us into a workaround of setting a system property to force  Arrays.sort to use the legacy sort that does not throw exceptions.
