Hook into System.loadLibrary or Bundle.findEntry [message #510981]

Hello,

is it possible to hook into the way Equinox loads native libraries? I
think it would be enough for me to hook into the find of the native
library. I would also not like to use hooks, that I have to specify at
the command line but rather one that I could add to the framework during
runtime.

Thanks,
Phil

There are hooks in Equinox for this:

org.eclipse.osgi.baseadaptor.hooks.ClassLoadingHook.findLibr ary(BaseData, String) lets you find a requested library path

org.eclipse.osgi.baseadaptor.hooks.BundleFileWrapperFactoryH ook.wrapBundleFile(BundleFile, Object, BaseData, boolean) lets you wrapper a BundleFile and intercept calls to BundleFile.getEntry which are called when Bundle.findEntries is called.

But I am not sure I understand your statement "I would also not like to use hooks, that I have to specify at the command line but rather one that I could add to the framework during runtime."

If you have a framework extension that contains hook implementations (has a hookconfigurators.properties file) then p2 will install and configure it into the framework automatically. There should be no need to add an command line options.

Thanks Tom for your swift response,

It means that I would not like to specify command line params to get the
hook activated. Thats what I would need to do, as I read on the hooks
wiki page.

And what if I will not use p2? Could I also not simply use a fragement
bundle for the system bundle and implement my hook there?
