Re: [equinox-dev] Bundle with Extension can be invoked in RESOLVED state

Currently extensions are tied to the resolution state of the bundle (not the active state). See bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=210104 for an enhancement request to tie extension registry contributions to the active lifecycle of the bundle.

Re: [equinox-dev] Bundle with Extension can be invoked in RESOLVED state




What is the reason for this behaviour? I can workaround my problem by  
extending my extension point interface and making the extensions  
evaluate the Bundle.getState() to check if the bundle is active. But  
to me this behaviour seems somewhat unintuitive, and I would have  
thought that this is taken care of by the framework.

Best Regards,

André
