I have been searching the Internet and this forum on this. I read a bunch of articles and nothing appears to be helping. Please don't mind me if this question has already been asked.
What I am trying to do is to programmatically load a plugin within my RCP.
My scenario includes the following
- dc_buddypolicy_plugin1 is a headless plugin that provides a static class for logging to standard out
- dc_buddypolicy_plugin3 is my RCP and it tries to load plugin1 programmatically.
Below is a code snippet in dc_buddypolicy_plugin3::Activator::start() method.
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
super.start(context);
plugin = this;
System.out.println(PLUGIN_ID + ":Activator::start invoked");
try {
System.out.println(PLUGIN_ID + ":Activator::start installing bundle");
Bundle b = context.installBundle("file:///home/beyonddc/workspace/deployed_plugin/plugins/dc_buddypolicy_plugin1_1.0.0.jar");
System.out.println(PLUGIN_ID + ":Activator::start installed bundle");
b.start();
System.out.println("Invoking Class.forName()");
Class lc = Class.forName("dc_buddypolicy_plugin1.Logger");
} catch (Throwable th) {
th.printStackTrace();
}
}
My dc_buddypolicy_plugin1 appears to be loaded just fine according to the log in standard out except that I couldn't load my class via Class.forName().
dc_buddypolicy_plugin3:Activator::start invoked
dc_buddypolicy_plugin3:Activator::start installing bundle
dc_buddypolicy_plugin3:Activator::start installed bundle
dc_buddypolicy_plugin3:Activator::start dc_buddypolicy_plugin1 INSTALLED
dc_buddypolicy_plugin1:Activator - start - invoked [08272012]
dc_buddypolicy_plugin1::logger - dc_buddypolicy_plugin1:Activator::start invoked [08272012]
Invoking Class.forName()
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: dc_buddypolicy_plugin1.Logger
I also setup buddy policy
dc_buddypolicy_plugin3 has Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered
dc_buddypolicy_plugin1 has Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: dc_buddypolicy_plugin3
Can someone please kindly explain what I did wrong? Thanks!
