There can be an unspecified amount of time between bundle deployments. | Bundle A depends on bundle B, both share bundle X. | | A ---> B | A ---> X <--- B | and a deployment order of | deploy("jbosgi38-bundleA.jar"); | deploy("jbosgi38-bundleB.jar"); | deploy("jbosgi38-bundleX.jar"); | Bundle A & B can only be installed but not started. The deployment should not fail however. When X gets deployed all three bundles should get started. The ResolvedBundleDependencyItem would probably not fix that, because deployment of A would already fail - if I understand this correctly.
