The buddy concept works for both classes and resources
(Bundle.getResource()).
If this does not work please open a bug report against equinox / framework
with an example reproducing the problem.

What if e.g. the resource was in /resoruces, and there wasn't an Export-Package: resources in the manifest? Would that exhibit this problem?

hi

thanks for your answers. so far i didn't manage to get it to work though. i did the following:

i've two plugins. lets call them "client" and "framework". the client-plugin has a dependency to the framework but of course the framework hasn't got one to the client. now i want to load some client properties in the framework. i've added the following in the client manifest:

Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: properties
Export-Package: properties

the property file (usermessages.properties) is located in a package called properties (src/properties)

in my framwork manifest i have added

Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered

now when i try to load the property as follows file the resource can't be found.

String resourceBundleNameSmall = "properties/" + aResourceBundleName; // path: properties/usermessages

resourceBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(resourceBundleNameSmall);

how and were do i use Bundle.getResource()? i didn't quite get that. what else am i missing out here?

thanks for any help.

regards

I'm pretty sure that Bundle.getEntry() will only ever search that Jar, regardless of what policies there are.

What I suspect Pascal meant was to use getClass().getResourceAsStream("/properties/file.txt") instead. If the properties was exported, then that should have the desired effect.

i just tried that out but the resource still can't be found. i have exported the package as follows:

Export-Package: properties

and also registered it (hope that is correct, i can register a package, right? or do i have to register each file separately?):

Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: properties

in the other manifest file i added the statement Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered

did i maybe forget something? or is there another way i could access that file?

regards

You have to register a plugin. So if your plugin id is called properties
then you are correct.

The Eclipse-RegisterBuddy is the id of a plugin, not a package name. So it should be something like com.example.foo.plugin, or whatever you've called it.
