            I tried all the ways to refresh/update bundles using Apache web console. But if we refresh bundles using web console IGB UI is breaking.

            Discusson our problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4330927/how-does-osgi-bundle-update-work

            The conclusion from the above discussion thread.
            1. We cant use update command for updating a single module.
            2. Update command should be used when we are introducing a new version of the same bundle, to be only supplied to dependent bundles that are yet to come, -which are not yet there at the time of the update.
            3. Solution: 'refresh' command without specifying a specific bundle, meaning that all bundles will be blindly refreshed. The 'refresh' command forces the rebuilding of the dependency tree of the target bundles, and coerce their class loaders to start loading their required classes from scratch.

            Official statement: When you use felix:update or felix:uninstall, the changes appear to take effect immediately, but in reality the changes are only partially enacted. If a bundle is updated or uninstalled and it was exporting packages, these packages are not removed until the framework is refreshed using the PackageAdmin service. The Felix shell offers a convenient refresh command for this purpose. This is the correct behavior as defined by the OSGi specification.

            Looks like we have reached the limit of what felix web console can do for us.
            Am marking this as Closed.
            We still need to incorporate this new information into instructions for developers - that can be a separate, linked ticket.
