[eclipse-dev] osgi runtime, how to Alternate Runtimes

[sg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

sorry in case i sound a little bit nervous, since weeks i try to find out how to use the new osgi runtime 
to implement a jmx based runtime so i can use eclipse RCP _inside_ an application server to access ejbs 
in the same vm. I feel the osgi stuff was very hyped. 

All blog entries in the web say the same, the new osgi runtime is cool but to less documented. 
Well i'm agree and since weeks there is still one line documentation "In progress..."
Especially for alternate Runtime there is just nothing then the summaries. ;-o My questions in the 
mailing list or forum of equinox wasn't answered. As well i was reading the code, but there are for 
example two IPlatformRunnable with different java doc and i found as well comments like 

// TODO clarify the javadoc below.  Copy the signatures from Platform.
// talk to jeem about the best way to do the triplication

So the code reading confuse me a lot and i'm still haven't any idea how to do my job.


So please please please is there someone that can give any hint what kind of Interfaces i have to 
implement to realize an alternative eclipse runtime and how to assign the classloader from my new 
runtime to a plugin? Has someone just a few lines that give me a starting point or a documentation 
draft?

In case i couldn't find out how to implement a alternate runtime i have to start using Swing next week, 
please save me before this pain! 

Thanks!
Stefan
