Re: [equinox-dev] How to use Extension bundles in equinox


Yes the framework will relaunch, but you must launch with the eclipse.exe.  If a framework extension is refreshed then the Framework will exit with an exit code indicating to eclipse.exe that the framework should be relaunched in a new VM instance.

Note that updating/uninstalling framework extension bundles do not automatically cause the framework to relaunch.  The framework will only relaunch if PackageAdmin.refreshPackages is called and it causes a framework extension to be refreshed.

Thanks for the reply, Tom.

I have a question left.

Will the framework shutdown and relaunch automatically when the
extension bundle is refreshed, updated, uninstalled., and so on as
described in Section 3.15 ?
