[cross-project-issues-dev] HEADS UP: many equinox internals have changed

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a note a couple of weeks back [1] about the changes coming to the Equinox OSGi framework implementation for Luna.  If you have dependencies on Equinox Framework internals and you have not tried to build against any of the Eclipse/Equinox project M1 builds then you likely will have issues building against the latest M1 Luna builds.

If any of the unnamed projects Konstantin mentions below have issues and would like assistance please ask on the equinox-dev mailing list.

Thanks for the follow-up, Thomas. 
 
I think another reminder of Equinox changes might be in order on cross-project. I notice that some Luna projects (not going to name the guilty parties) with dependencies on Equinox internals have yet to try building with Luna platform. I expect lots of surprised and angry reactions in about a week.
 
Thanks,

David's answer is correct.  Thanks David!

FrameworkDebugOptions is not API, the Equinox API (not OSGi API!) is org.eclipse.osgi.service.debug.DebugOptions.  As David mentions, this is intended to be consumed as an OSGi service and Equinox does not provide static API to access it.  the Platform.getDebugOption method does provide static access to the debug options service if that is what you would prefer to use.  But I still recommend using the OSGi service directly instead of using the old org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform class, but that is because I really dislike static APIs and I am used to using the OSGi service registry for such things.

Thanks, David.
 
I found that I can replace FrameworkDebugOptions.getDefault().getBooleanOption(key) with Platform.getDebugOption(key).

Tom (and the one or two others who might know) are not available this week so ... just so that you do not feel ignored :) .... I'll respond with the tiny bit I know, and Tom can later address deeper if needed. 

Short answer: I believe it is intended to be gone ... but I don't what to recommend on "how to transition". 

The previous version, in package org.eclipse.osgi.framework.debug, was marked as "x-internal" in MANIFEST.MF (meaning, was not API, even though did not have internal in the package name). 

There is a new version of FrameworkDebugOptions, now in a package with 'internal' in the name, org.eclipse.osgi.internal.debug, which, off hand, ... from the most casual of skim reading ... appears to be intended to be used more as a service, not by direct (non-API) reference. 

Tom has been working hard re-implementing a large amount of "Equinox internals" for some time (in anticipation of new specs) and while I didn't see 'debug' mentioned explicitly, there is a lot written about the changes at 

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/Luna_Framework 

and that wiki page in turn points to various specs and other specific bugs which might help you migrate off the non-API class. 

Hope this helps ... but if if not, ask again in a week or two and I'm sure Tom can say more. 

Thanks,

Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue? I am assuming that this is result of recent refactoring. The package in question doesn’t have internal in the name, but if the class is going away for good, could someone let me know what the equivalent invocation should be? 
 
Thanks,

In the process of migrating Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse to the latest Luna integration build, I have discovered that FrameworkDebugOptions class seems to be missing. Thoughts? 
 
Thanks,
