Is it now time to convert plugins to OSGI? [message #42780] Thu, 03 June 2004 16:19 Go to next message

Hi,

we are in the process or migrating our 2.x plugins to 3.0.
Is it now time to switch to OSGI?
It seems eclipse itself is not really using OSGI (only SWT and ide.build
use MANIFEST files (+the osgi itself)).
Is this an indication that it is not ready for "prime time"?

Is this information up to date?

All plugins in Eclipse 3.0 end up having manifest.mf files. For those who
don't provide one, a new manifest.mf will be automatically generated based
on the plugin.xml/fragment.xml files and the contents of the plugin JAR
files.

If you find any problems in the doc you mentioned or in the OSGi-related
behavior, feel free to open bugs against Equinox/General to report the
issue.

OSGi is ready for prime time, however the tooling does not support all
the things that the runtime supports but what is provided now is already
solid.

For more details see my answer to the message "osgi or no".
