Not sure that this is quite what he was looking for. The Eclipse
LazyStart capabiliyt only starts bundles when they are first
"accessed" (ie.., when someone tries to load a class from them). Here
the bundles register services (by running code when the bundle starts)
that others then discover. That is, the services need to be
registered before the consumers can discover them.
The simple answer in the case of services is to look into Declarative
Services. Equinox includes an implementationof this.
As for starting all prereqs, no, we do not have any explicit support
for this. It would however be reasonably easy to implement. See
PackageAdmin for some methods that help you traverse the dependency
graph.

Re: [equinox-dev] Autostarting required plugins
Abhishek,
Take a look at:
_http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/quickstart.html_
Pay particular attention to the section titled "Configurations and all
that...".
You can use the "org.eclipse.core.runtime" and
"org.eclipse.update.configurator" bundles along with the
"Eclipse-AutoStart" manifest header to automatically install and start
your bundles.
See more on Eclipse-specific bundle manifest headers at
_http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/bundle_manifest.html
_
<http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/bundle_manifest.html> or
look at the help contents of your Eclipse install.

How do I autostart the plugins on which my plugin depends. Here is the
scenario.
Plugin C requires plugin A and plugin B.
Plugin C uses services registered by both the plugins. But when I try to
use the services in plugin C, I get an error. This is because plugin A
and B have not been started. I tried doing it this way and it worked.
osgi.bundleclipse.product=A.pro
es=A,B@2:start,C@2:start,org.eclipse.core.runtime@2:start
osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=4
But I am looking for a method which would autostart all my dependencies
when I start the plugin C. Any ideas how can this be done?
Thanks
Abhishek
