Thank you Tom for your explanation. Although the behavior in 1 is
still a bit strange for me (since, for example, if the very same
bundle exports a service without having the permission to, it fails
to resolve but on the same account, all its constraints are
satisfied, in other words, in terms of exporting a package or a
service, seem to be somewhat similar to each other but we have two
different behaviors), I am fine since now I know what is going on
and can move on. On the item 3, I will open an enhancement request.

1. In the case where the bundle does not have the proper export
permission:
The bundle is allowed to resolve because its own constraints
have been satisfied. This allows the bundle to activate since it
can resolve. The fact that the bundle is not actually allowed to
export something does not prevent it from being able to resolve.
2. and 3. I am not aware of any graphical tools to do this.
Although 3. could be in the realm of PDE since this is editing
the content of a bundle. You should consider opening a bug
against PDE->UI for this (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=PDE)

everyone.
Hello everyone.
I recently started playing with the ConditionalPermissionAdmin
and local
permissions in Equinox. Here are a few questions I ran into:
1. As a simple test, I wrote a trivial bundle that does nothing
except
exporting a package. I noticed that if I do not explicitly state
the
PackageAdmin permission for the exported package, still my
bundle comes
up without any issue. To make sure I was setting things up
correctly, I
also tried to export a service from the same bundle without
giving the
ServicePermission in my local permissions and that failed so the
setup
seems to be right but for some reason, even though I have the
Export
clause in my manifest and no PackagePermission in my local
permissions,
still the bundle comes up fine. In other words, commenting or
uncommenting the following line in my permissions.perm didn't
make any
difference :
# ( org.osgi.framework.PackagePermission "com.acme.osgi.client1"
"IMPORT,EXPORT" ) # com.acme.osgi.client1 is the package that
I was
exporting
2. Is there a graphical tool that can inspect a bundle for its
local
permissions, so that an operator can use that to see what sort
of
permissions are being requested? I know it is easy to open a jar
file
and look at the permissions.perm there but it seems like
something that
may already have a tool done by someone.
3. Is there a graphical interface (even as an eclipse plugin or
so) to
help developers create their local permissions in the
permissions.perm?
It is easy to make a syntax error there, so again it sounds to
me like
something that can benefit from a more graphically oriented
tool.
Many thanks
Ali.
