Hi,

Should I be able to extract all the RAP plugins from CVS and have then
compile and run with Eclipse M4? It's obviously kind of a trick
question since I think the answer is no because filledFromCache's use in
RegistryStrategyOSGI doesn't compile:

public void onStart(IExtensionRegistry registry) {
super.onStart(registry);
if (!(registry instanceof ExtensionRegistry))
return;
ExtensionRegistry theRegistry = (ExtensionRegistry) registry;

// register a listener to catch new bundle
installations/resolutions.
pluginBundleListener = new EclipseBundleListener(theRegistry,
token, this);
Activator.getContext().addBundleListener(pluginBundleListene r);

// populate the registry with all the currently installed bundles.
// There is a small window here while processBundles is being
// called where the pluginBundleListener may receive a BundleEvent
// to add/remove a bundle from the registry. This is ok since
// the registry is a synchronized object and will not add the
// same bundle twice.
if (!theRegistry.*filledFromCache*())

pluginBundleListener.processBundles(Activator.getContext().g etBundles());
}

I was going to look into providing RAP-compatible GUI libraries for EMF
so we could generate a RAP application (similar to how we generate an
RCP application) and I have this compulsive desire to extract things
from CVS so I can totally butcher them...

Also when I tried to run this stuff, I got what seemed to be version
range errors. I had to add required plugins to the launcher. The
launcher also doesn't work well unless -Dosgi.noShutdown=true is added
to the arguments. I wonder why the demo launcher doesn't include these
things? I did get it working so at least I'm off to the races now!

I also wonder what the "reporting encoding changes" messaged are about
when I'm checking these plugins out on Windows? (But that doesn't seem
to have caused any problems.)

Hi Ed,

I think you're talking about Eclipse 3.4M4 and RAP CVS (bundle:
org.eclipse.rap.extension.registry). That's right. The problem is that
in order to provide I18n on bundle level (plugin.xml/MANIFEST.MF) we
needed to tweak the Equinox translation mechanism a little bit so it is
multi-user capable. We stay in contact with the Equinox team to have a
common solution for this problem for 3.4 so we do not need to patch the
equinox registry. Hope that clarifies the situation a little bit.
