Description of problem:

The application and product bundles are resolved and installed in parallel in fabric (based on alphabetical ordering, if there is no dependency) and 100% of the time, the KieScanner Bundle Activator ends up running after the application has already failed.

Setting a break point at [1] shows the true cause because the only way I found loadArtifact returns null was from DummyKieScanner.

A getCause on the exception object reveals a ClassNotFoundException because the KieScannerFactoryServiceImpl has not yet been loaded by the Bundle Activator.

    java.lang.Throwable.detailMessage: "Unable to instantiate 'org.kie.scanner.KieScannerFactoryServiceImpl'"
    java.lang.Throwable.cause: instance of java.lang.ClassNotFoundException(id=6377)

As it stands, there is no way for an application to declare a dependency on KieScannerFactoryServiceImpl to ensure the Bundle Activator is run prior to an application being started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

BRMS 6.2.x
BRMS 6.3

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy any application which loads a KJAR in a fabric environment where the BRMS and Application bundles are loaded at the same time.

Actual results:

RuntimeException with 'Error when instantiating bean kieSessionService of class class com.redhat.drools.camel.beans.KieScannerKieSessionService'

Expected results:

Successful deployment
