Re: [platform-core-dev] setURLStreamHandlerFactory

Marius,

Unfortunately there is no way of preventing
the Framework from calling these methods.  The URL HandlerFactories
must be set by the Framework to support the OSGi URLStreamHandlerService.
 The eclipse runtime depends on the URLStreamHandlerService to support
all of its protocol handlers (i.e. platform: bundleentry: bundleresource:
ect.).  Without support for these protocol handlers eclipse will not
work.  The URLStreamHandlerService allows plugins within the Framework
to dynamically add and remove protocol handlers in the runtime environment.

Hi there,

Is there any way of stopping the framework from calling the 
URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(URLStreamHandlerFactory fac) and
URLConnection.setContentHandlerFactory(ContentHandlerFactory fac)
methods ?

I have a tricky situation where I need to launch eclipse from within
another third party app which also calls these methods. Of course when
eclipse tries to set them an Error is thrown and the whole thing
crumbles.

Any ideas?
thanks,
Marius
