[platform-core-dev] Bundle of questions

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was just seeing these threads and
it mentioned the intention of fragments to go away. Fragments had an important
function of extending the classloader of a plugin in a semi-dynamic way.
In that if the fragment was present its libraries get added to the plugin's
loader.

This is used for things like NLS and
platform dependent code. You don't need to ship all languages and all platforms.
You just add in the fragments for the language and platforms of interest
when needed. And then the resources or code can be found by the plugin
itself (using class.getResource() for example from a class within the plugin).

How will this be accomplished with bundles?

Thanks,
