Description

You may call it a bad bundle (because fragment is a R4 concept as I understand), but if someone forgets to set Bundle-ManifestVersion in a fragment, then Felix 4.0.2 won't start. Just copy the attached f1.jar to bundle/ in a felix installation and start felix to see the following exception:

ERROR: Bundle org.apache.felix.gogo.shell [5] Error starting file:/space/ss141213/software/felix-framework-4.0.2/bundle/org.apache.felix.gogo.shell-0.10.0.jar (java.lang.NullPointerException)
