Probably it's a bug. Last time, I upgraded my activiti-engine bundle (OSGi) from version 5.8 to 5.10. Then I have had a problem with references to bundles which depend on each other. Problem was resolved when I add DynamicImport-Package: * to the manifest file of activiti-engine bundle. I think that the same problem exist starting from version 5.9. Have somebody registered this issue as a bug?
