How to get Bundle dependencies ? [message #537715]

Hi,

How can I get bundle dependencies ? As I understand there is interface BundleDescription for this purpose.. or not ? Smile

How can I use it ?

Could you please explain us how can we get list of bundle dependencies.. for example I tried to install and start bundle:

Bundle bundle = bundleContext.installBundle( path );
bundle.start() // Ooops.. exceptions. because not all dependencies resolved

let's imagine I want to insert following code:
BundleXXX[] depends = bundle.getDependencies();
if( depens == null ) bundle.start(): // Smile

)

I hope I explain my request very clearly Wink

Thanks a lot for your answer and your work !

Use PlatformAdmin#getState() to get the State for the running system.
State#getBundle( bundle.getBundleId() ) gives you a BundleDescription
corresponding to your bundle.

BundleDescription has methods to get dependencies. Also, StateHelper
contains methods that might be interesting.

To go backwards from a BundleDescription to a Bundle you would also need the
BundleContext#getBundle() with BundleDescription#getBundleId()

Hi,

Thanks ! But it's not working with bundles which are not installed.

Another words, how does system generate list of unresolved bundles when unresolved bundle exception occurs ?

Thanks.

You should also consider using a provisioning system to do this work for you. In Equinox we have p2 which does this kind of analysis and ensures that you install bundles that will resolve.
