[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: how to check if DS is running?

Hi John

thanks for the links! Tom does indeed address the equinox version of DS 
directly:

http://publicsvn.bestsolution.at/repos/java/examples/EMF-Databinding/at.bestsolution.soccer.app/src/at/bestsolution/soccer/app/intro/Application.java

This might be acceptable in Tom's case (he has an RCP, that's running in 
equinox anyhow). My usecase is related to ECF and theres no need to 
restrict thing to be equinox only.
Whats interesting is that the guys @felix think that there's not other 
way but to check for the explicit bundles (equinox-version, 
felix-version, etc.).

A third opiniion suggests to use a dummy, DS declared service. If the 
dummy service gets registered, I know that DS is running. This sounds 
like the best option to me.
