Description

I am new user of Felix and new to OSGi. Under Apache Felix 4.0.2, the call to BundleContext.registerService () will not compile when a Properties instance is passed. I am not sure if this is a bug in Felix 4.0.2 or just out-of-date documentation in the following examples:

• Apache Felix Tutorial Example 2
• Apache Felix Tutorial Example 2b

The fix was relatively simple, replace:

Properties props = new Properties();

with:

Dictionary<String, String> props = new Hashtable<String, String>();

I hope this helps!
