Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox and Extension/Extension Point

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The function in org.eclipse.equinox.registry
is not specified in an OSGi standard.  That API has been in use in
Eclipse for many years but we have, as yet, not made any attempts to standardize
it.

The bundle does *not* depende on the
org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle.  It imports org.eclipse.core.runtime
package.  It does depend on the org.eclipse.equinox.common bundle
for some common utility and helper classes used throughout Eclipse.

There are many documents (books, help
entries, articles) around on how to use the Eclipse extension registry
mechanism.  Perhaps the easiest thing is to look through the Eclipse
help at
        http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp
        http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/runtime.htm
        http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/editors/manifest_editor/editor.htm

Note that this kind of question is actually
better asked on the Equinox newsgroup.

Subject	[equinox-dev] Equinox and Extension/Extension Point

Hi,
I am fascinated about the plugin engine of Eclipse (Extension/Extension
Point). Digging in Equinox I found that now it is implemented in "org.eclipse.equinox.registry".
Clearly it's not standard OSGi and so this bundle depends from " org.eclipse.core.runtime".
is it correct? Where can i find a simple step-by-step example that shows
how to use this service? I can dig into various eclipse documentations/books
but I am searching something easy to test and try with equinox. Thank you
-Piero
