	''Is there a problem in an initializer?'' is a second question to ask. Sometimes, when a class throws an exception from one of its static initializers, it becomes unavailable to the [[JVM]]. Later, if any other class references the broken one, a {{JDK\|java/lang\|NoClassDefFoundError}} is generated at very unexpected places. However this was not the problem either. There was no other exception in the log files!		''Is there a problem in an initializer?'' is a second question to ask.

	''Is the installation corrupted?'' was our first question. No, it was not. We received the same report from multiple users. Thus we could rule out random corruption error. Something in our shared infrastructure must have been broken.		''Is the installation corrupted?'' was our first question. No, it was not. We received the same report from multiple users.

	Can this happen in [[OSGi]]? Well, [[OSGi]] by itself does not have support for '''friends''' now, so no. But [[Equinox]] provides an extended functionality to support this concept and yes, you'd run into same issues there.		Can this happen in [[OSGi]]?
