| Re: [equinox-dev] Eclipse Equinox, OSGi specifications and plugin.xml |
Yes, the plugin.xml is a leftover of the early days. OSGi offers the far superior mechanism of Declarative Services. I'd strongly recommend to avoid the old extensions wherever possible.
Regards,
Jürgen.
Right, plugin.xml is an Eclipse-specific format for extensibility, which is not part of OSGi specification. Support for this "extension registry" of plugin.xml files is part of the org.eclipse.equinox.registry bundle. I believe it's totally possible for Equinox to work comforming to OSGi spec without this bundle.
