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

["Cameron Ross" <cross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That did it... all seems kind of obvious now!  

Thanks much,
Cameron.

P.S. Which is the most appropriate venue for this type of question... the equinox-dev list or the
eclipse.technology.equinox newsgroup?

You haven't actually installed an started an Event Admin implementation, as far as I can tell.  The
Event Admin is a standard OSGi service, so the relevant APIs are included in the
org.eclipse.osgi.services bundle (therefore everything compiles fine).
The implementation bundle for Event Admin will vary depending on which one you want to use.  Equinox
has an implementation (org.eclipse.equinox.event), as does the Apache Felix team.  Once you install
and start an actual Event Admin implementation, you should be able to get a ServiceReference.

Note that the OSGi LogService API is also included in the org.eclipse.osgi.services bundle in the
same way that EventAdmin is, but you have a LogService implementation loaded already:
org.eclipse.equinox.log.
