Re: [equinox-dev] What causes InvalidRegistryObjectException ?


Hi Gavin,
From your description it looks like somebody is storing IConfigurationElement (internally implemented as ConfigurationElementHandle). Copy-paste from its Javadoc:

 * These registry objects are intended for relatively short-term use. Clients that
 * deal with these objects must be aware that they may become invalid if the
 * declaring plug-in is updated or uninstalled. If this happens, all methods except
 * {@link #isValid()} will throw {@link InvalidRegistryObjectException}.

If this error happens in Eclipse itself please open a bug against Platform/UI with the same information you provided here.

If this error happens in your code, consider using IExtensionTracker.

Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin

[equinox-dev] What causes InvalidRegistryObjectException ?





Context: eclipse 3.2.1

Goal: track the ExtensionRegistry and maintain a list of available views '
with a fixed prefix for the ViewID.

Error: I am getting an InvalidRegistryObjectException when I uninstall a
fragment. The fragment (specifically fragmentBundle.jar below) contributes a
ViewPart. It doesn't happen the first time the bundle is uninstalled

e.g. the sequence of events in the OSGi console:

1) install fragmentBundle.jar
2) refresh 51 (51 is fragmentBundle.jar in INSTALLED state)
3) uninstall 51
4) install fragmentBundle.jar
5) refresh 52 (52 is fragmentBundle.jar in INSTALLED state)

At this point my IPlatformRunnable bombs with a dialog that reads:

   Unable to load perspective.
   Reason: premature end of file.

And my log file contains the following exception:

Any ideas why this is happening ?
