Event and notification for stop of extension plugins [message #797505]

Hello Guys,

I would like to create a dynamic Eclipse/Equinox application using extension points and extensions: new extension plugins may come and go.

So I would like to be informed about life cycle events of the extensions.

I register an IRegistryChangeListener and an IExtensionChangeListener for the events, but I don't get notified when an extension plugin is stopped.
Relevant event is triggered only (removeExtension(...)) when the extension plugin is uninstalled.

Shall I use a BundleListener for this kind of event or is there any other alternative?

Many thanks,
Csaba

Bundles don't have to be running to contribute to the registry -- part of its purpose is to avoid starting bundles if it can be avoided. So there's no reason that a bundle can't be stopped and yet still contribute to the registry.

So I think you'll have to use a bundle listener if that's the behaviour you're wanting.

Brian.
