Re: [equinox-dev] programmatically recognizing that a file is a bundle?

oh, i didn't want to install it. I was thinking something like
Bundle(File) throws NotABundleException
would have been cool ;-)

thanks for the pointer, I was actually crawling through Framework and other equinox base stuff not thinking about the fact that the metadata generator has to make the same kind of decision...

Reading the manifest is unfortunately the only way to identify a bundle. If
you were to try to install it, then more trouble would occur :-)
If you can not depend on the p2 metadata generator, you can still get
inspiration from the BundleDescriptionFactory#getBundleDescription(File)

I have a user workflow where I want to treat a jar file that is a bundle
differently than I treat a jar file that is just some archive of stuff.
Is there a definitive way that I should programmatically examine a jar file
and decide "this is a bundle."

I thought this would be relatively easy to find, but it wasn't obvious to
me. If there's code to steal, can someone point me to it?

Simon suggested I might crack it open and look in the manifest header for
the Bundle-SymbolicName.
I was hoping there was something more definitive, like, try to create a
bundle from a file and it will throw some exception if it's not a bundle.
