RE: [equinox-dev] EventAdmin ServiceReference is always null?

["O'Flynn, Dennis" <Dennis.OFlynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that 3.2RC3 does not ship with the EventAdmin service.  You will need to download (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/equinox/) the service separately and drop it into your plugin folder.  I did this using org.eclipse.equinox.event_1.0.0.v20060411 and everything works as excepted.

Subject: [equinox-dev] EventAdmin ServiceReference is always null?

 

Hello,

 

I am unable to obtain a valid ServiceReference for the EventAdmin service shipped with 3.2RC3.  The start method in my Activator class looks like this:

 

public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
    ServiceReference serviceRef = context.getServiceReference(EventAdmin.class.getName());   

    // serviceRef is always null!
}

 

The following items are selected in both the Eclipse "Window->Preferences->Plug-in Development->Target Platform->Plug-ins" and "Run->Run...->Plug-ins->Target Platform" areas:

  - org.eclipse.equinox.log(1.0.0.v20060206)

  - org.eclipse.osgi(3.2.0.v20060505)

  - org.eclipse.osgi.services(3.1.100.20060426)

 

My manifest contains the following header and everything compiles nicely:

    Import-Package: org.osgi.framework, org.osgi.service.event, org.osgi.util.tracker

 

I'm running Eclipse 3.2-RC3 (Version 3.2.0, Build ID I20060505-1306) with Sun's JRE 1.5.0_06 on Windows XP Professional SP2. 

 

Note that I am able to get a ServiceReference to the LogService.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Cameron Ross.
