Logger outside Application Model [message #1199494]

Hi all,
I just have some best practice question. I needed to get loggin possibility while I'm starting my application. So I did it as follows:

		Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(this.getClass());
		try {
			bundle.start();// Get context of this bundle
			BundleContext bundleCntxt = bundle.getBundleContext();

			IEclipseContext context = EclipseContextFactory
					.getServiceContext(bundleCntxt);
			this.logger = ContextInjectionFactory.make(WorkbenchLogger.class,
					context);
		} catch (BundleException e) {
			//....
		}

Is it OK to start the bundle manually? Or is there any workaround for it?
Thanks you very much,

Martin

Calling it in the @PostContextCreate is the earliest stage in which you can get a 'clean' call. Do you need it earlier than that?

I need to initialize the logger when I'm initializing new part of the RCP application (in method annotated by @PostConstruct). I use some static methods in it to read some external resources and I need to have some possibility to log these static methods behavior.
Or is it a common to use the logger as an parameter of the static method? I think it wouldn't be much nice...at least for me:)

Thank you,
Martin

I only submit my solution which seems to be working (although it's not probably clearest way - bundle.start() is still in there):

Bundle bundle = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(this.getClass());
bundle.start();
// Get context of this bundle
BundleContext bundleCntxt = bundle.getBundleContext();

IEclipseContext context = EclipseContextFactory.getServiceContext(bundleCntxt);
this.logger = ContextInjectionFactory.make(WorkbenchLogger.class,context);
