Error description
Unable to run BPM application with Java 1.8 FFDC reports: Exception:org.osgi.framework.BundleException SourceId:com.ibm.ws.app.container.aries.AriesApplicationEventhan dler.handleEvent ProbeId:519 Reporter:com.ibm.ws.app.container.aries.AriesApplicationEventHan dler@6c12d5b0 org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The bundle "mybundle.v_1.1.1.201711111111 [3]" could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.8 at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.getResol verError (AbstractBundle.java:1317) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.getResol utionFai lureException(AbstractBundle.java:1301) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker( BundleHo st.java:319) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.start(Ab stractBu ndle.java:284) at org.apache.aries.application.runtime.framework.BundleFrameworkIm pl.start (BundleFrameworkImpl.java:194) at org.apache.aries.application.runtime.framework.management.Bundle Framewor kManagerImpl.startBundle(BundleFrameworkManagerImpl.java:281) The issue is that the version of equinox used (3.6.3) does not contain the JavaSE-1.8 profile so the OSGi apps with bundles that require that execution environment fail.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of OSGi * * applications and Java 8 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: OSGi application fails to start due * * to missing constraint * * Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: * * JavaSE-1.8 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Java 8 support was added to WebSphere Application Server version 8.5.5 full profile in fixpack 8, however the JavaSE-1.8 profile defining the corresponding OSGi Execution Environment was not shipped. OSGi applications that specify a the JavaSE-1.8 required execution environment therefore fail to start since the requirement cannot be satisfied.
Problem conclusion
The JavaSE-1.8 profile is now provided on WebSphere Application Server full profile. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.13. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
