Re: [e4-dev] Fwd: How to correctly set up another LifeCycleHandler

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a couple of ways to do that.  If you don't specify it in your base model, you can have a fragment add your addon to the model.

But for providing services that are accessible from the context, you have 2 other options:

1) simply have the implementation register an OSGi service.  By default you can pick those up through the IEclipseContext.  you'll get a different implementation depending on which bundles is available.

2) use DS to add a service as an IContextFunction, similar to http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt/OSGI-INF/statusreporter.xml  That service can provide a ContextFunction that instantiates your services as needed.
