At least in bnd(tools) I do not even remotely recognize your issues with tooling. So switching to bnd(tools) might save you from this aggravation. (And I hope you reported them to Eclipse).<br />In the examples I use I generally take care of the synchronization issues; the thing is that using defaults it is hard to do it wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I like OSGi and DS but sometimes it can be quite a frustrating experience. Especially the DS tooling.<br /><br />The DS tooling is quite really bad especially considering it's part of PDE which has some if the best tooling there is. The DS tooling doesn't even offer you autocompletion when selecting a method. Philippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183492434713662454noreply@blogger.com
