When does the plugin actually get activated [message #309544]

I have a plugin that does not seem to be activated even when enclosed
classes have been loaded and instantiated. I thought that if a class
from the plugin were loaded and instantiated, then the plugin/bundle
must be activated. But this seems clearly *not* to be the case. I run
into this when I ask the platform adapter manager to adapt an object.
It won't load the adapter factory because the plugin/bundle is not yet
active, even though the object I am trying to adapt is from the same
plugin/bundle. Is there something that needs to be set for the
plugin/bundle to activate when its classes are loaded/instantiated?

Thanks,
Keith

If you add the header "Eclipse-LazyStart: true" to your manifest, then
your bundle will get activated when a class is loaded from it.
