I made a post to the Eclipse newcomers group
a few weeks ago, but did
not get a response. I don’t know if this is the appropriate place
for this question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right
direction.
We are building a headless RCP application
and we would like to use DS
to make functionality available. The problem we are running into is
that
not all of the services we declared through DS get loaded and are
visible
before our application executes.
For example, I have a
service A which needs 0..n instances of
another service B. The issue I'm running into is that if the
implementations of
service B are spread across several bundles, then the service A will
not have
seen all instances of service B when it is called since the application
starts
(and sometimes ends) running before DS is done looking through all the
bundles
and registering all the services in the active bundles.
Is
there a
way to know when declarative services is done looking through the
active
bundles and loading the services found in them? Am I missing something?
It seems that using the plug-in registry may
solve this issue. Is
that perhaps a better way to go?
Thanks,
Otto
