non deprecated api for Platform.getPlugin [message #43454] Wed, 16 June 2004 08:22 Go to next message

i have a Plugin that implements the BundleListener interface. when the
bundleChanged(BundleEvent event) method is called, i have access to the
event.getBundle() bundle. unfortunatly, the bundle returned is an eclipse
internal implementation of the osgi bundle interface (BundleHost) and
there's no access to the plugin class that activated the plugin (Plugin
implements BundleActivator).

i can retrieve the instance of the plugin by calling
Platform.getPlugin(event.getBundle().getSymbolicName()), but that method
is deprecated.

can i still access the plugin-instance via api?

cheers,
simon

You can no longer access the plugin-instance via API (unless using the
deprecated API).
It is now the responsibility of the plugin author to expose its instance.

Why do you need to acces the plugin instance?

i'm working on a framework that injects registered services into the the
bundles activator class. in order to do that, i'd be a lot easier to
have access to the activator and the bundles context.

right now i instantiate and register services via extensions from one
plugin and inject ther services into plugins that wish to use the
services (also configured via extensions).

would subclassing of the plugin class be a better method?

cheers,
simon
