https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBOSGI-140 Although a listener is associated with a bundle context (i.e. must get removed when the bundle gets uninstalled) the events must get delivered to the listeners that are associated with the framework. sysContext.addBundleListener(listenerA); Bundle bndA = sysContext.install("bundleA.jar"); bndA.getBundleContext()..addBundleListener(listenerB); Bundle bndB = sysContext.install("bundleB.jar"); bndB.uninstall(); Both listenerA and listenerB must see the BundleEvents for bundleB. This delivery pattern is the basis of the much used "Extender Pattern" View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4252048#...
