RE: [equinox-dev] EventAdmin ServiceReference is always null?

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse SDK does NOT include all
of the Equinox bundles that are availalbe as part of 3.2.  It has
only what is needed for the SDK itself.  All Equinox 3.2 bundles can
be fetched from the Equinox download site as Dennis points out.  Note
that there is an Equinox feature zip on that site that includes all the
official bundles for 3.2 (its the first download in the Bundles section).

It appears that 3.2RC3 does
not ship with the EventAdmin service.  You will need to download (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/equinox/)
the service separately and drop it into your plugin folder.  I did
this using org.eclipse.equinox.event_1.0.0.v20060411 and everything works
as excepted.

Subject: [equinox-dev] EventAdmin ServiceReference is always null?
 
Hello,
 
I am unable to obtain a valid ServiceReference
for the EventAdmin service shipped with 3.2RC3.  The start method
in my Activator class looks like this:
 
public void start(BundleContext context)
throws Exception {
    ServiceReference serviceRef = context.getServiceReference(EventAdmin.class.getName());
   
    // serviceRef is always null!
}
 
The following items are selected in both
the Eclipse "Window->Preferences->Plug-in Development->Target
Platform->Plug-ins" and "Run->Run...->Plug-ins->Target
Platform" areas:
  - org.eclipse.equinox.log(1.0.0.v20060206)
  - org.eclipse.osgi(3.2.0.v20060505)
  - org.eclipse.osgi.services(3.1.100.20060426)
 
My manifest contains the following header
and everything compiles nicely:
    Import-Package: org.osgi.framework,
org.osgi.service.event, org.osgi.util.tracker
 
I'm running Eclipse 3.2-RC3 (Version 3.2.0,
Build ID I20060505-1306) with Sun's JRE 1.5.0_06 on Windows XP Professional
SP2.  
 
Note that I am able to get a ServiceReference
to the LogService.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Cameron Ross.
