Re: [equinox-dev] Reusing BundleActivator

[BJ Hargrave <hargrave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no spec restriction on this.

Since all bundles share this class,
you should be careful not to use static fields since all bundles will see
these.

Each bundle will have a unique activator
object, so instance fields are fine.

Hi, 

Is there any restriction in the spec for a bundle to use an activator provided
by another bundle. 
My case is the following: 
        Bundle common.activator contains the class
common.activator.TheActivator and does not have an activator of
its own (it's a library) 
        Bundle foo import commom.activator and has
an activator which is common.activator.TheActivator
