Re[4]: [platform-core-dev] Can I use Eclipse Platform Corefunctionality outside Eclipse?
|
Did you also look at the OSGi service registry? The registry shares
several concepts with the extension points. A key difference was that
extension points are declarative while services required Java code to
run. In R4 we will add declarative services that will remove this
disadvantage.
Kind regards,
