Any way to know when bundles are started? [message #543863]

My bundle activator schedules a background job for 5 seconds in the future. The job should only run after "startup" has completed, and since this is a server, all bundles are activated at startup.

Instead of waiting 5 seconds, how can I wait for "startup" (StartLevelManager#resumeBundles) to complete? Do I use EventHook, or the EventDispatcher service?

You can try listening for FrameworkEvent.STARTED :
* This event is fired when the Framework has started after all installed
* bundles that are marked to be started have been started and the Framework
* has reached the initial start level. The source of this event is the
* System Bundle.

These events are delivered asynchronously to FrameworkListener's registered
on BundleContext.addFrameworkListener

Thanks! And one last thing. If I'm not adding the listener directly in my Activator's start(BundleContext context), then it's possible that this event has already come and gone. So is there a "pull" mechanism to query whether or not the "framework" has already published the "STARTED" event?

You can probably check StartLevel#getStartLevel() and compare it to
BundleContext.getProperty("osgi.startLevel")

When my bundle is starting,
getStartLevel() returns 4,
context.getProperty("osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel") returns 4 too.

But, when the event type STARTED is fired, getStartLevel() returns 6, (as set by EclipseStarter). It seems like getStartLevel() returns the current level obtained, not the target level. "osgi.startLevel" is on FrameworkProperties, but that's an eclipse internal class.
