For the record, the default behaviour of an OSGi framework should be to =
persist its state, so Equinox *should* do that by default as well. I =
know a lot of developers "clean the bundle cache" on every restart to =
recover from installations with bundles that contain all kinds of bugs =
from which it is hard to recover. The risk of constantly doing this is =
obvious: you do less testing of update scenarios.

Greetings, Marcel
