I want to develop a service in the eclipse application level that will be initialized with dependency injection.

This is a schematic illustration:
index.php/fa/13433/0/

I've added a workbench model processor to start my service. Is this the best approach?

index.php/fa/13436/0/

I have added my sample code (breadservice.zip).

If your bakery service is independent of the UI, but is not intended to be instantiated on a 1-1 basis with thr UI, then I'd recommend configuring it as an OSGi service, and post your events directly to the EventAdmin service instead. If you do want to use the IEventBroker for posting, do it from an addon that is introduced by a model processor -- the model processors originally had a very limited lifetime, created and then torn down, and something changed. Addons are part of the model, on the other hand, and have the same lifetime as the model itself.

Brian,

Another way if you need access to the IEventBroker (=you can't simply
contribute as an OSGi-Service) is to register an IContextFunction
providing the service interface through DS.

In 4.3 we are registering our E4Workbench as an OSGi-Application which
allows you to get access to the MApplication which allows you to get
access to the IEclipseContext which allows you to access IEventBroker
even from OSGi.

I will google about IContextFunction, because I never heard about it. I found eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/734956/, but IEventBroker is only an example, I'd like to use the whole DI functionality, not especially the messaging service Wink

Hint for me

Thank you!
