Re: [equinox-dev] possible regression in equinox

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, this appears to be a bug that should
be fixed.  Please open an Equinox bug.

What's more is that we actually used this not only for
equinox, but also for other osgi bundles using framework properties (and
also relied on the null state).

Hey all,

I think I found a regression in equinox when using the
framework API.

:(

The scenario is quite simple to reproduce.

java.util.ServiceLoader<FrameworkFactory> loader
= java.util.ServiceLoader.load(FrameworkFactory.class);
Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String,
String>();
properties.put("blah", null);
Framework newFramework = loader.iterator().next().newFramework(properties);

// fails with NPE

This would work fine in every previous version of equinox.

Rationale
So, this might sounds like it's a silly thing to want
to do in the first place. 

However, one very good reason for this is because it's
the only way to "set" (or rather "unset") certain equinox
flags due to the fact that the only check causing them to be unset is a
null check (which if I can't set it null will obviously never be the case).

Again, before Luna, this always worked.
