Recently I am upgrading my application from Eclipse Equinox version 4.23 to 4.35. I was facing some weired issue where org.bouncycastle and org.apache.batik.css bundles are not resolved though there are available inside eclipse/plugins folder. The application was working fine earlier with Eclipse Equinox version 4.23.
I have org.apache.batik bundle version 1.18.* and org.bouncycastel 1.72.0 version available inside eclipse/plugin folder
A exact depedency resolution cycle looks similar to below.
