Plug-in not available as bundle [message #318248]

At run-time I need to access the bundles for some of my plug-in
dependencies. I can access all the bundles loaded in the Eclipse framework
using the following code:

ArrayList<Bundle> bundleList = new ArrayList<Bundle>();
for(IBundleGroupProvider provider : Platform.getBundleGroupProviders()) {
for(IBundleGroup group : provider.getBundleGroups()) {
for(Bundle bundle : group.getBundles()) {
bundleList.add(bundle);
// debugging code:
System.out.println("bundle: " + bundle.getSymbolicName());
}
}
}

One of the plugins I'm using doesn't show up as a bundle in this list. It
is one of several plugins I've created to wrap external jar files. The
others show up as plugins, but this one (which wraps the Apache Derby lib
jar derby.jar) does not. I have verified that the Derby plugin is present
at runtime by checking Help/About Eclipse SDK/Plug-in Details, and I have
carefully compared the MANIFEST.MF and layouts of the working and
nonworking plugins without finding any meaningful differences.

I'm pretty stuck. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David

They're almost certainly not in an IBundleGroup, which is why you're not seeing them. You should be able to get a list of all bundles using BundleContext.getBundles(), which is handed to you during start() of the bundle itself.

Thanks; this did the trick.
