In E4 - RCP application, how to get the instance of BundleContext so that it
can be used in ServiceTracker.
Or is there a different way to get the instance of ServiceTracker instead of
ServiceTracker oSTEventAdmin = new ServiceTracker(bundlecontext,
EventAdmin.class.getName(), null);

My Objective is to get the EventAdmin service in E4.

- Walter.

For the simple cases, you can just ask your part IEclipseContext (the topmost application context talks to OSGi).

ex: context.get(EventAdmin.class.getName())

Otherwise you need your context to set up your ServiceTracker yourself: org.osgi.framework.FrameworkUtil (1.3) can get your Bundle if you don't have an activator

Hi Paul,

Context is null
---------------

Bundle oB = org.osgi.framework.FrameworkUtil.getBundle ( oClass ) ;
System.out.println ( "Bundle: " + oB ) ;
System.out.println ( "BundleContext: " + oB.getBundleContext ( ) ) ;

Output
--------
Bundle: com.javacraft.trader_1.0.0.qualifier [66]
BundleContext: null

Any idea why the context is null ?

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Walter G. Prabhakar.

Has that bundle been started yet? See the javadoc for getBundleContext() which explains when it will return null.
