[stp-dev] Fwd: [cross-project-issues-dev] Migrating Eclipse-LazyStart to Bundle-ActivationPolicy
|
More news from the world of cross-project issues. This time
about the use of the Eclipse-LazyStart header in the plug-in
manifest.
Begin forwarded message:
There has been several discussions in various bug reports about
migrating from the Eclipse-LazyStart header to the new Bundle-
ActivationPolicy header specified in the OSGi R4.1 specification.
With the latest I-Builds PDE is now flagging the old Eclipse-
LazyStart header as deprecated and with this weeks I-Build PDE is
offering two quickfix options to migrate to the Bundle-
ActivationPolicy:
1) Convert the deprecated 'Eclipse-LazyStart' to 'Bundle-
ActivationPolicy'
2) Add 'Bundle-ActivationPolicy' header
The Equinox team is recommending that developers use option 2 when
migrating to the new header. This will ensure that bundles will
continue to work on older Eclipse platforms where the Bundle-
ActivationPolicy header is not recognized. It will also allow the
bundle to work on other OSGi R4 Framework implementations which
probably do not recognize the Eclipse-LazyStart header.
cheers
