Re: [equinox-dev] Way to retrieve the bundles with provides a capability

["Thomas Watson" <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is all getting a bit fuzzy for me
because PDE is still using the old Equinox resolver API which the framework
no longer actually uses at runtime.  But if I recall correctly Require-Capability
reqs are modelled with the org.eclipse.osgi.service.resolver.GenericSpecification
interface which has a getSuppliers() method.  The reason for it being
plural is because require-capability may specify a cardinality of multiple
so they can be 'wired' to more than one supplier at a time.  Also
see org.eclipse.osgi.service.resolver.BundleDescription.getGenericRequires()

Way to retrieve the bundles with provides a        capability
from BundleRequirement

Friends of Equinox,

in PDE we have this "Add required" button which allows adding
the
bundle requirements to a launch configuration and the product.

Currently is is implemented for required bundles and imported
packages. Equinox provides very simple API for that:

BundleSpecification requiredBundle;
BaseDescription bd = requiredBundle.getSupplier();


Do you have something similar for retrieving the bundles which
provides a capability (provide-capability)?

I found BundleRequirement but see now way to retrieve bundles which
seems to model "require-capability" but was unable to determine
the
API to find suppliers.

Best regards, Lars
