RE: [equinox-dev] org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extrasystem variabl

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra property is a configuration option to the framework. It cannot be set by using a windows environment variable. Try placing the property in your config.ini. Or if you are launching an instance of Equinox from PDE you can specify this as a VM system property (-Dorg.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=...).

But doing this only makes the package available for import (using Import-Package) at runtime. You still need to get PDE to have a bundle that exports this package. PDE does not use the system.packages.extra property. Chris or other PDE guys my have some suggestions to get that to work in PDE.

Thanks Tom and BJ for quick answers. I should have been clearer…sorry. I am running into this issue at compile time. I just tried this:
 
1. Defined the org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows as a Windows environment variable
2. Started up Eclipse 3.5 with the –console command
3. Typed ‘bundle 0’ and I don’t see the com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows package exported by the system bundle
 
I cannot add the package to my Manifest as it’s not available when I click the Add button. I tried adding it manually and receive an error in my Manifest saying that no bundle exports the package. If I type
 
packages com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows
 
in the console window, I get an enormous list that seems like every available package.

This should work in 3.5. When you say you cannot import the WindowsComboBoxUI class do you mean you get a class loading error or do you get a resolution error when starting your bundle that uses that class? If you start with -console you should be able to run the "packages" command on the com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows package and see that it is exported by the system bundle (id = 0). This will also confirm that you are really running with the correct version of the framework. Does your bundle specify an Import-Package header for that package in its bundle manifest?

Hi all –

I’m trying to get access to the com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsComboBoxUI class within my Equinox plug-in. I noticed back in April that Tom had referenced a org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra system variable that can be set to add packages to the list of available packages that the framework recognizes. However, I can’t seem to get it to work. I set the following:

org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows

but when I start Eclipse I still cannot import the WindowsComboBoxUI class.

Am I setting the property incorrectly?

I am still using Eclipse 3.4 but I have defined a Target Platform for this workspace that includes the jars below. I pulled them from a RC version of Equinox just prior to the official Galileo release.

org.eclipse.equinox.ds_1.1.0.v20090513.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.event_1.1.100.v20090513.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.log_1.2.0.v20090513.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.util_1.0.100.v20090429-1630.jar
org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.0.v20090513.jar
org.eclipse.osgi.util_3.2.0.v20090429-1630.jar
org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090513.jar

Thanks,
Chris
