Working through our move from RCP to a generic OSGI solution, and I am
stuck with a couple of questions.
There was an issue a while ago for EMF that resulted in a generation
setting to support generic OSGI frameworks and not only
Eclipse/Equinox. But the resulting bundles still have plugin.xml and
expose extension points. My understanding is that this part of Eclipse
is not covered in the portable part of o.e.core.runtime. We also have
a number of our own extension-points, some that we have already
converted and others that are still around.
So anyone has successfully used EMF and/or Extension points outside of
a full Eclipse environment?
Yes wrt extension registry/extension points.
o.e.core.runtime is a split package, split between bundles
o.e.equinox.common and o.e.equinox.registry
I'm not sure of the justification for split packages, but I think it was
done to maintain backward compatibility in eclipse plugins.
The version I used was a few years ago, but at that time these two
bundles...along with equinox...would run the extension registry (i.e.
process extension points/extensions on startup). AFAIK that's still the
case.
If you want to use a framework other than equinox, I know for certain
that o.e.equinox.common works just fine on Felix...as long as one also
includes this bundle [1].
I don't think EMF requires anything in addition to o.e.equinox.common
and o.e.equinox.registry but I'm not completely sure about that.
