That would be great especially as AOP
will have the biggest impact on the server and it would be great to develop
some demos around Eclipse Server Side.

WRT the demo (which I put together very
quickly and is not yet complete) you should think about the implementation
of a tracing feature and it's configuration as two separate tasks. Not
installing the tracing bundle or fragment will of course ensure there is
no tracing code but if it is installed the user may, as with a traditional
hand-coded approach, wish to have fine grained control over what data is
produced are where it is sent. This control will depend upon the chosen
tracing infrastructure e.g. Eclipse DebugOptions. If the bundle is unloaded
(while Eclipse is still running) tracing logic will not be removed from
the bundles that have already been loaded - this isn't hot code replace
- although it will not be added to bundles that have yet to been loaded.
However a more sophisticated aspect that was a lightweight front end to
a tracing/logging _service_ would have the kind of flexibility you desire:
if you unload the bundle that implements the service the aspect can guarantee
all references are tidied up and tracing ceases. It would also allow you
to load the tracing service after Eclipse has started or replace its implementation
while Eclipse is running.

>Am I missing something in the setup?
No. However I would like to work with you to create
a more compelling demo. When are you speaking?

Hi Mathew,
cool stuff with the Aspect deployment!

I thought I would mention and maybe do a demo on this at the
www.oredev.se, regardding Eclipse going Server Side and other cool
OSGi stuff. However, when I start the tracing demo, I would like to
demo how to start and stop the aspect, that is, unloading the
demo.eclipse.tracing bundle and the tracing disappears. Is that
supported? Am I missing something in the setup?
