Re: [equinox-dev] Accessing the log without Activator (extendsPlugin)

["Thomas Watson" <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

ILog has been around for a very long time,
before OSGi as a runtime in Eclipse I think.  So its access is a bit
static.  If you have motivation to access it in an 'OSGi way' then
I recommend you enhance the eclipse platform to register a ServiceFactory<ILog>
that bundles can use.  The ServiceFactory<ILog> would essentially
return the same thing Platform.getLog(Bundle) does.  That way you
can get injected with your bundle's ILog with things like DS.

Accessing the log without Activator (extendsPlugin)

Here is the invocation that I use to get
ILog without an Activator:
 
Platform.getLog( Platform.getBundle( "..."
) )
 
Thanks,

Looking at the source code, ILog is not
an OSGi service but is constructed as a wrapper object around the OSGi
LogService. The relevant code is in org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.InternalPlatform.
 
Do you need the full functionality of an
ILog, or is standard OSGi LogService sufficient? If the latter, then you
can use a DS component and just inject a reference to the LogService. If
you really need ILog then I think you have to go through InternalPlatform.getDefault().getLog().
