Plugin class constructor and start method [message #447426]

Hi NG,

we just found a strange behaviour in one of our self developed eclipse
plugins (webstartable app, using manifest.mf):

The constructor of the class is instantiated twice, without calling
start after the second instantiation. This has the effect that the
bundle, provided by the context which is provided through the start
method, as null after completion of initialization. So we can't access
the bundle any more. Any hint what we are doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi Guido,
is the bundle a singleton ?

Eg do you have the following line in your Manifest.MF ?

Bundle-SymbolicName: org.bla.bundelname; singleton:=true

Regards,
Stepan

Another idea.

Add the followining instance initializer code into your plugin class

{
new Throwable().printStackTrace();
}

That will show you where from the instances are created.

Another idea: is your plug-in registered for early startup? See
