How to load class with its bundle's classloader ? [message #100073]

Hi,

please imagine the following situation:

Plugin A
^
Plugin C |
^ |
| |
| |
| |
Plugin B

1. Plugin B depends on A and C where A knows nothing about C.
2. Plugin B contributes a Classname via an extension point to A.
3. This class is located inside Plugin C.

How can I load this class from Plugin A with its own BundleClassLoader (
C ) ?
I only know that Bundle B must know about the class.

Sebastian

Hi,

It should be enough to just import the package where the class resides
from Plugin C.

Hi Danial,

you are right.

Calling
bundleB.loadClass(hidden.in.bundle_c.ClassName);
from A works.

Don't know what went wrong the last time.
Thank you.

Did you try #createExecutableExtension?

Thank you Gunnar,

I know about creatExecutableExtension, but this is not exactly what I
need. I need more control over time and circumstances when a class is
loaded.
