Re: [equinox-dev] problems with registry change events

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jens,
It does work for me. Using your code:

1 Create a new bundle that contributes
to the registry - say, using "Hello world" template for the new
plug-in project wizard
2 Add "-console" argument
to the Eclipse launch configuration that you are using
3 Start it
4 Use "ss" command in the
console to make sure your tracking bundle is started and to find out the
ID of the bundle from the step 1
5. Type "refresh <bundle_id_from_step_1>
in the console - you'll see the events.

Thanks,
Oleg

Subject	[equinox-dev] problems with registry change events

Hi,

I am working on a program that performs some additional integrity checks
between bundles collaborating through extension points and extensions.
I 
want to trigger verification whenever new extensions or extension points
are registered. I have done a little spike: I wrote a plugin that starts
early (by adding it to config.ini), and added the following code to the
start method in the Activator class (the Activator also implements 
IRegistryChangeListener):

private boolean initialized = false;
public void registryChanged(IRegistryChangeEvent e) {
    System.out.println("registry changed");
}
public void start(final BundleContext context) throws Exception {
    super.start(context);
    System.out.println("activating");
    plugin = this;
    BundleListener l = new BundleListener() {
        public void bundleChanged(BundleEvent e) {
            System.out.println("bundle
changed: 
"+e.getBundle().getSymbolicName());
            if (!initialized && Platform.getExtensionRegistry()!=null)
{
                
Platform.getExtensionRegistry().addRegistryChangeListener(Activator.this);
                System.out.println("registry
loaded");
                initialized = true;
            }
        }
    };
    context.addBundleListener(l);
}


The idea is to wait for the extension registry, and once it becomes 
available to start listening for registry change events. The output on
the console is the following:

activating
bundle changed: nz.ac.massey.treaty.spikes.events.main
registry loaded
bundle changed: org.eclipse.jface
bundle changed: org.eclipse.ui

... (more bundle changed: .. - )


It seems that registryChanged is never invoked. Even if I install a 
plugin later (once the eclipse instance is running) from a local update
site, the method is never called (no print out, I have tried to debug as
well). Why is this?

Any help is appreciated!

Jens
