Felix and Eclipse PDE
On a side note, the PDE team from Eclipse would like everyone to know that
as of Eclipse 3.3M2
(http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.3
M2-200609220010/eclipse-news-M2.html) PDE supports pluggable OSGi
frameworks (see the release notes). This allows other OSGi frameworks to be
launched like Equinox is (also it allows for reusability of the launch
configuration UIs and other things).
There is an OSGi framework extension point
(http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/schema/osgiFrameworks.exsd)
that interested OSGi frameworks can extend.
Currently only Equinox is supported
(http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/src/org/eclipse/pde/ui/launcher/EquinoxLaunchConfiguration.java)
but we would appreciate feedback from the Felix community if someone would
like to create a Felix extension. We want to make sure this API is stable
for Eclipse 3.3 and would love if the Felix community could help the
evolution of this API.
If you have any questions using this API, please feel free to email the
pde-ui-dev@eclipse.org mailing list.

Chris Aniszczyk

RE: Felix and Eclipse PDE
Posted by "Jan S. Rellermeyer" <re...@inf.ethz.ch>.
I am currently working on an Eclipse integration of my Concierge framework.
It is not really a trivial task since Equinox is custom-tailored to Eclipse
and in many sense goes further than the OSGi standard. Simple issues make
the it quite cumbersome to let a "standard" framework appear like Equinox.
For instance, in Equinox, a bundle is not necessarily a Jar file but can as
well be a directory (and this is crucial for launching plugin projects).
Another issue is that with the -D<whatever>.start.level command line
semantics, you never know how many start levels you have to expect and in an
Eclipse launch configuration, the start levels are not necessarily
continuous. These two things can be more or less elegantly fixed but I
expect more of these issues to arise.
Since I assume that similar problems might also appear with Felix, we can
maybe exchange some experience.
Cheers,
Jan.

RE: Felix and Eclipse PDE
Posted by Rick Litton <Ri...@ktd-kyocera.com>.
Hi Richard,
I did an 'svn update' and showed that my working copy is checked out up to revision 482287. Also did an 'mvn clean install' on both new and old poms. However, the old pom.xml failed after it tried to test out one of the examples. But I had previously built the bundles (javax.servlet and http.jetty) needed for the test so this did not worry me. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same errors.

Just as a quick suggestion, make sure that you are completely up-to-date
with the repo, because there was a bug in the maven bundle plugin that
caused too much stuff to be copied into the framework JAR file and this
was resulting in loader constraint errors.

I suspect that there are dups that caused the conflict between the osgi libraries hence the classloading problem. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with more information as it's close to midnight. I'll go over it again tomorrow.

The Eclipse extension mechanism is an addon service/mechanism analogous to
declarative services. That is, you should be able to take the
org.eclipse.equinox.registry bundle (and its prereqs) from Equinox and use
it on other frameworks. In the case of the registry I suspect you would
need the o.e.equinox.common and o.e.equinox.supplement bundles. The
latter supplies implementations of various services that are included in
the Equinox system bundle as part of its implementation strategy. We are
just redoing how we manage the supplement bundle so a new one will appear
in builds soon (or already has). I know that people have run the registry
on Knopflerfish. Perhaps you would be interested in trying it out on
Felix and reporting back to the Equinox team?

Hi all,
The area of extension points is quite important for my organization. I
was wondering if anyone can provide an update on this issue. Is anyone
from the Felix community working to make Eclipse and Felix interoperable?
Is there some sort of timeline to implement extension points in Felix? If
not, why not? Thanks!

On a side note, the PDE team from Eclipse would like everyone to know that
as of Eclipse 3.3M2 (
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.3M2-200609220010/eclipse-news-M2.html

allows other OSGi frameworks to be launched like Equinox is (also it
allows for reusability of the launch configuration UIs and other things).
There is an OSGi framework extension point (

Currently only Equinox is supported (

Hi BJ,
Differences duly noted. But I'm left wondering if R4-DS (with its whiteboard/service binder concepts) is much more complex to implement compared to extension points (with its own version of DS embodied in the plugin.xml file) which in my mind is quite straightforward. Your comments are appreciated.

Eclipse extension points do not use the declarative service mechansim.
Extensions and services are different tools with different design points.
See http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Sub.do?id=185 for a presentation on
extensions and services which Jeff and I presented at EclipseCon last
year.

RE: Felix and Eclipse PDE
Thanks Jeff for the quick response. Yes, I would certainly like to try
out your suggestion and load up those bundles. My only concern is if
there could be some issues supporting two registries simultaneously (Felix
bundle registry and Equinox extension registry). But perhaps this is a
good strategy to maintain a separation of concerns. I understand from
your recent book on RCP, you mentioned somewhere that the Equinox team
felt it was not practical to convert extension points to plain OSGi
services. But now it seems that this perception has changed with the
adoption of declarative services for the extension point mechanism. Not
knowing much about how Equinox implemented extension points, I had earlier
implemented a similar but simplistic version of this concept using an
IExtensionPoint service api in Felix (then Oscar). This was borne out of
necessity (project deadline) more than anything else.
P.S. I read your sample chapter on RCP (Chapter 2). Kudos on an excellent
book! I would recommend it even if you are not into RCP since it has
valuable info on Eclipse.

not, why not? Thanks!

On a side note, the PDE team from Eclipse would like everyone to know that
as of Eclipse 3.3M2 (
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.3M2-200609220010/eclipse-news-M2.html
) PDE supports pluggable OSGi frameworks (see the release notes). This
allows other OSGi frameworks to be launched like Equinox is (also it
allows for reusability of the launch configuration UIs and other things).
There is an OSGi framework extension point (
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/schema/osgiFrameworks.exsd
) that interested OSGi frameworks can extend.
Currently only Equinox is supported (
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/src/org/eclipse/pde/ui/launcher/EquinoxLaunchConfiguration.java
) but we would appreciate feedback from the Felix community if someone
would like to create a Felix extension. We want to make sure this API is
stable for Eclipse 3.3 and would love if the Felix community could help
the evolution of this API.
If you have any questions using this API, please feel free to email the

Eclipse extension points do not use the declarative service mechansim.
Extensions and services are different tools with different design points.
See http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Sub.do?id=185 for a presentation on
extensions and services which Jeff and I presented at EclipseCon last
year.

RE: Felix and Eclipse PDE
Thanks Jeff for the quick response. Yes, I would certainly like to try
out your suggestion and load up those bundles. My only concern is if
there could be some issues supporting two registries simultaneously (Felix
bundle registry and Equinox extension registry). But perhaps this is a
good strategy to maintain a separation of concerns. I understand from
your recent book on RCP, you mentioned somewhere that the Equinox team
felt it was not practical to convert extension points to plain OSGi
services. But now it seems that this perception has changed with the
adoption of declarative services for the extension point mechanism. Not
knowing much about how Equinox implemented extension points, I had earlier
implemented a similar but simplistic version of this concept using an
IExtensionPoint service api in Felix (then Oscar). This was borne out of
necessity (project deadline) more than anything else.
P.S. I read your sample chapter on RCP (Chapter 2). Kudos on an excellent
book! I would recommend it even if you are not into RCP since it has
valuable info on Eclipse.

The Eclipse extension mechanism is an addon service/mechanism analogous to
declarative services. That is, you should be able to take the
org.eclipse.equinox.registry bundle (and its prereqs) from Equinox and use
it on other frameworks. In the case of the registry I suspect you would
need the o.e.equinox.common and o.e.equinox.supplement bundles. The
latter supplies implementations of various services that are included in
the Equinox system bundle as part of its implementation strategy. We are
just redoing how we manage the supplement bundle so a new one will appear
in builds soon (or already has). I know that people have run the registry
on Knopflerfish. Perhaps you would be interested in trying it out on
Felix and reporting back to the Equinox team?

RE: Felix and Eclipse PDE
Posted by Rick Litton <Ri...@ktd-kyocera.com>.
Hi all,
The area of extension points is quite important for my organization. I was wondering if anyone can provide an update on this issue. Is anyone from the Felix community working to make Eclipse and Felix interoperable? Is there some sort of timeline to implement extension points in Felix? If not, why not? Thanks!
Rick Litton

On a side note, the PDE team from Eclipse would like everyone to know that as of Eclipse 3.3M2 (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.3M2-200609220010/eclipse-news-M2.html) PDE supports pluggable OSGi frameworks (see the release notes). This allows other OSGi frameworks to be launched like Equinox is (also it allows for reusability of the launch configuration UIs and other things).
There is an OSGi framework extension point (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/schema/osgiFrameworks.exsd) that interested OSGi frameworks can extend.
Currently only Equinox is supported (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.ui/src/org/eclipse/pde/ui/launcher/EquinoxLaunchConfiguration.java) but we would appreciate feedback from the Felix community if someone would like to create a Felix extension. We want to make sure this API is stable for Eclipse 3.3 and would love if the Felix community could help the evolution of this API.
If you have any questions using this API, please feel free to email the pde-ui-dev@eclipse.org mailing list.
Cheers,
Chris Aniszczyk
