Running the DBWS Provider-Activator
In the Eclipse IDE, select the MANIFEST.MF file and bring up the context menu for 'Run As' -> 'Run Configurations' -> 'OSGi Framework' to create a new launch configuration called 'Server'.

Deselect all bundles and re-select 'Server' and then click 'Add Required Bundles'. This simplifies the list of Required Bundles:
