Heya,

I just asked myself why a generated EMF model plug-in contains a
dependency to org.eclipse.core.runtime?

Felix,

Usually it's easy to find out when you try to remove the dependency and
see what happens.
AFAIK at least the extension markup in the plugin.xml requires a
dependency on org.eclipse.core.runtime (at least on something within).

Can you describe your concerns with this dependency?

Cheers

At what time? Compile? Run?

Not sure I understand what you mean.

Its not a concern. I just wanted to know why it's needed.

Thanks,
Felix

Felix,

EMF's runtime uses things, like Eclipse's plugin class, from that. You
could try to remove it and see what the compiler complains about...

Hey Ed,

If I remove it from the model plug-in, there's nothing that the compiler
complains.

In contrast is the edit plug-in which requires the Plugin class, at
compile time. At runtime its absence is detected and the standalone
implementation takes over, nicely explained in the new book.

public abstract class EMFPlugin implements ResourceLocator, Logger
{
public static final boolean IS_ECLIPSE_RUNNING;
static
{
boolean result = false;
try
{
result = Platform.isRunning();
}
catch (Throwable exception)
{
// Assume that we aren't running.
}
IS_ECLIPSE_RUNNING = result;
}

Felix,

Oh yes, I forgot that the model plugin doesn't always have a plugin. In
any case, the model depend on EMF which depends on the core Eclipse
runtime, so indirectly you always depend on it...
