[pde-dev] Inter-fragment dependencies

[Jens Borrmann <Jens.Borrmann@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

given the following situation: A host bundle H, two fragments fragment1
(exporting package package1) and fragment2 attached to H. Using eclipse
I cannot find a way to have direct access to package1 from within fragment2?
Is there a possibility to write something in fragment2 like:

import package1; 
SomeClassFromPackage1 x = new SomeClassFromPackage1();

assuming that fragment1 exports package1 and fragment2 imports package1.
I have tried all my eclipse tricks but still the IDE won't let me do this...
On the OSGi mailing list BJ Hargrave and Thomas Watson told me this was
not a general OSGi issue but a PDE issue.

What I figured out is that the following
code snippet works in fragment2: 

Object x = this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("package1.SomeClassFromPackage1").newInstance();

Best regards, Jens
