coding to org.osgi.framework only...what will I lose versus org.eclipse.core.runtime? [message #83409] Fri, 16 February 2007 20:05

Hey,

I just realized that all along I have been creating my plugins with the
Eclipse 3.2 compatibility option set. I just recently discovered the
checkbox in the new plug-in project wizard that specifies to create a
plug-in for the osgi framework only, and not Eclipse 3.2. So, my plugins
right now extend eclipse.core.runtime everywhere. This is ok for my ui
plugins which in fact will always run under eclipse, however, I was hoping
to reuse my core plugins in various environments including server side (i.e.
Tomcat, or JBoss AS).

What core/management functionality would I lose if I re-wrote my plugins to
extend the osgi framework only and not extend eclipse.core.runtime?

I created a framework only project and for example didn't see any tabs for
extensions/extension points in the manifest view. Now, I realize that
functionality still exists in the framework but does this mean eclipse IDE
simply does not provide the nice GUI for non eclipse plugins?
