| Hi, I think having IConfigurationElements mapped to actual Java objects is a very good idea. The Riena project is using that now for roughly 4 month with an implementation in its codebase that allows to - create Java objects from Extensions - define Interfaces for the ExtensionPoint schema - inject the Java Objects into any object that is interested in its information (making the using code independant of extensions but simply dependant on the interface object) - automatically re-injects the Objects if extensions are added or removed (by installing uninstalling bundles) - create java instances for those attributes where the type is java Riena has defined an API that uses Extensions and OSGi Services in a very similar way. You can inject Services or Extensions using one API. We have a short not yet complete description in the wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_Getting_Started_with_injecting_services_and_extensions and of course the code is in the latest M4 build of Riena (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Riena_Getting_started) and we have quite a number of Testcases to show how injecting Extensions and Services works using the API. cheers christian campo Am 24.09.2008 um 21:20 schrieb Oleg Besedin:
