Detecting IApplication start [message #1124389]

I am developing an OSGi project where I wish to have a JavaFX-based IApplication. For this I use the AbstractJFXApplication base class. I want OSGi-components to be able to provide Nodes to be added to the scene graph.

I need to make some manager OSGi component that gathers the provided Nodes and adds them to the scene graph. This manager component would need to know if the scene is started in order to access it.

At this point, I register a service with OSGi (via the BundleContext cached in the Activator) at the end of the startJfx method of the AbstractJFXApplication. This service provides access to the Scene object. This service can then be bound by my manager component. This seems somewhat clumsy to me, but it is the only way I can think of.

Is there a declarative way to do this? Or any other better way?

Thanks in advance,

Filip

Hi,

If you have equinox.event in your launch config, the
AbstractJFXApplication will send out an event with the topic
"efxapp/applicationLaunched" after the jfxStart method has returned.

Currently I'm not passing a long any information but if you file a
feature request I could pass the primary stage, we could also discuss if
we should not register the Application in the OSGi-Service registry,
another feature request ;-)
