Topics

Lazy-Start vs. Bundle-Activation-Policy

What do we tell people, and what do we do for Equinox bundles?

  • people have been asking what to do
  • we need to provide direction
  • if they switch, their bundles won't run in old (3.2) environments
  • for instance SWT doesn't care what version or even if they are started
  • people can use both headers if they want
  • if you rely on something in the new Equinox, then use the new header
  • currently a bug report open so they should add a native code header so they can run on other frameworks
  • SWT actually looks for the JAR and does the extraction themselves
  • will recommend that people just add in the new header and don't remove the old one
  • PDE shouldn't give a warning (we asked them not to)
  • they are adding a check to ensure that the headers are compatible
  • tom to send note to eclipse-dev and cross-project-dev
  • tom is looking at our bundles to update them so they run on other frameworks
