Re: [higgins-dev] Isolating NLS.java functionalityfromorg.eclipse.osgi_3

[David Kuehr-McLaren <dkuehrmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We do not want to limit the environments
where the Higgins components can run. Small devices is a target for Higgins
functionality. The idea is to minimize the footprint, where possible.  Higgins
does not require an OSGI dependancy. 

92 K of the Equinox bundle is better
than 900K of the OSGI jar.  However, only a 3K class is needed.

The Equinox supplement bundle is a find way to achieve
what you want as it was designed to use on other OSGi frameworks and strip
out any Eclipse specific dependencies. As an outsider, my only worry is
that if you don't have 'org.eclipse.osgi' anywhere in your stack and you're
using Java, you aren't OSGi-based. Is the problem that org.eclipse.osgi
is too large for the environment you need to run on?

Does it contain things that we
don't need?  If so, we should still look into using a subset..  I
will ping Equinox team.

Hi, 
    I found another jar file which contains the org.eclipse.osgi.util.NLS.class
file and its footprint is smaller than org.eclipse.osgi_3.3.2.R33x_v20080105.jar
(928,754 bytes).   

org.eclipse.equinox.supplement_1.1.0.v20080421-2006.jar: 92,869  bytes
(http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/equinox/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/download.php?dropFile=org.eclipse.equinox.supplement_1.1.0.v20080421-2006.jar)

Is this small enough to be included in dependencies?

Thanks and regards,
Ranjan.
