getting OSGI Bundle from Eclipse IConfigurationElement
- by Hayden Marchant
Hi there,
I am looking for extensions that implement a specific extension point, and am using the following acceptable method to do this:
IExtensionRegistry extensionRegistry = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
if (extensionRegistry == null) {
return TEMPLATES;
}
IConfigurationElement[] config = extensionRegistry.getConfigurationElementsFor("com.ibm.im.launchpoint.templates.template");
I then would like to get the version of the defining bundle. I would use the following API, but the API for PluginVersionIdentifier is deprecated:
for (IConfigurationElement e : config) {
BlueprintTemplate template = new BlueprintTemplate();
IExtension declaringExtension = e.getDeclaringExtension();
PluginVersionIdentifier versionIdentifier = declaringExtension.getDeclaringPluginDescriptor().getVersionIdentifier();
I could not find an alternative in the new API - i.e. from a IConfigurationElement, how do I get the version id descriptor of the bundle. Obviously, from the Bundle I can get the version using the Bundle.getHeaders(), getting the Bundle-Version value - but how do I get the Bundle in the first place??? Platform.getBundle(bundleId) is not enough since I might have multiple versions of same bundle installed, and I need to know who I am. At the moment I have a chicken & egg situation, and the only solution I have is the above deprecated API.
