Are those protocols public? If they
are for internal purposes only, then clients would not create such URL
from a string, but will only pass already created (by the framework) URL's
around.
In that case, the osgi implementation
could create URL's using this constructor: URL(String protocol, String
host, int port, String file,  URLStreamHandler handler), by passing
the appropriate factory.

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
