Why would a plugin end up as [Installed] and not [Resolved] or [Active]? [message #66419]

I have an issue in bugzilla and a post on the platform newsgroup about
this (links at the end). I'm seeing the plugins in my feature end up in
different "states" according to Help->About->Configuration Details.

One plugin ends up as state [Installed] when installed via online update
and the same plugin shows up as state [Active] when I do the same from an
achived update site.

As I said there is an issue in bugzilla.

My question for this newsgroup is what is the significance of [Installed]
vs [Resolved] vs [Active] (I think I can guess) and how are these states
achieved, or changed?

TIA

Geoff

Installed - the plugins code is available in the platform.
Resolved - The plugin and all its plugins are available and the plugin
is ready to be activated.
Active - The plugin has been activated through a user action. E.g. code
from the plugin has been run. (See also Eclipse-LazyStart or
Eclipse-AutoStart in manifest.mf in the help)

Hope that clears some stuff up

Just to add a little to what Stefan said: under Equinox, if a bundle is
stuck in INSTALLED state it generally means that its dependencies could
not be resolved. By adding the -console switch when you launch, you can
use the OSGi console to diagnose the missing dependencies using the "diag"
command. For example:

osgi> ss

Framework is launched.

id State Bundle
0 ACTIVE system.bundle_3.2.0.v20060328
1 ACTIVE org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.2.0.v20060329
2 INSTALLED org.eclipse.equinox.http_1.0.0.v20060317

osgi> diag 2
initial@reference:file:plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.http_1.0.0.v20060317.jar/
[2]
Missing imported package javax.servlet_0.0.0.
Missing imported package javax.servlet.http_0.0.0.
Missing imported package org.osgi.service.cm_1.0.0.
Missing imported package org.osgi.service.http_1.1.0.
