[news.eclipse.platform] Re: getService() without the UI?!

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

* org.eclipse.emf.example.library.service.xmi.test1 declares a service
* org.eclipse.emf.example.library.service.teneo.derby.test1 declares a
  service
* org.eclipse.emf.examples.library.databinding consumes them
  (See the Activator)
