Use of DI in extension [message #898660]

Fri, 27 July 2012 02:31

I've created an extension point in plugin a and an extension in plugin b.
The extension has a dependency to ECommandService, EHandlerService and MApplication. All dependencies are null. I tried to inject an IEclipseContext in ctor but it is null.
What do I have to pay attention for when using DependencyInjection in extensions?
Is it in general possible?

Ah, here's the solution:
When evaluating the extensions simply call ContextInjectionFactory.inject(context);

@Inject
public OpenSearchHandler(ISearchComponent searchComponent, IEclipseContext context, IExtensionRegistry registry)
	{
		IConfigurationElement[] extensions = registry
			.getConfigurationElementsFor("my.own.extensionpoint.definition.searchprovider");

		for (IConfigurationElement extension : extensions)
		{
			LOG.debug("Evaluating extension");
			try
			{
				final Object o = extension.createExecutableExtension("class");
				if (o instanceof SearchProvider)
				{
					SearchProvider searchProvider = (SearchProvider) o;
					LOG.debug("Found SearchProvider --> " + searchProvider.getLabel());
					ContextInjectionFactory.inject(searchProvider, context);
					searchComponent.addSearchProvider(searchProvider);
				}
			}
			catch (CoreException e)
			{
				LOG.error(e);
			}
		}

	}

No extension points currently can't use DI. We'd need a special way to
create instances by routing the IEclipseContext to the creation.

IIRC there is a feature request in bugzilla but I can't remember the
name. As a replacement for an extension point one can see
ContextFunctions who can be contributed through DS.

Yes that's a solution - but it doesn't allow to use constructor
injection, and @PostConstruct. I'd like to that the IExtensionRegistry
injected here is using the IEclipseContext to create instances using
ContextInjectionFactory.make.
