Your eclipse application (org.my.Application extension) implements the method org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication.start(IApplicationContext). Once your application is done it should return from the start (IApplicationContext) method. This should eventually cause the platform to shutdown and return from main(launcherArgs). If this is not happening then I recommend you opening a bug with a testcase to reproduce.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [equinox-dev] Integrating plugin bundles in normal Java
Hi experts,
I have successfully my app A from another main POJO class like the
following:
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] launcherArgs = {
"-configuration",
"C:\\pathTto\\configuration",
"-install",
"C:\\pathToIntall",
"-DJavaAgentLogConfigFile=C:\\pathToLogConfig
\\log4j-commandline.xml",
"-application",
"org.my.Application",
};
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(launcherArgs);
}
The above requires the use of startup.jar's
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main. However, I notice I do not have
control once I called Main.main. I do not have a way for my App A to return
the control to the calling main java file. I tried throwing an Exception in
my app A to see if it will bubble up to the POJO main method, but it does
not. I cannot use System.exit(0) since it terminates the whole JVM.
snippet:
try {
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(launcherArgs);
} catch (Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("I am done with app A");
}
in app A's terminate method:
terminate() {
System.out.println();
//System.exit();
throw new RuntimeException("I am done. get me out of here");
}
What is a better way to achieve this? Bascially I want to run App A which
through eclipse and use osgi from another program. Once App A is done, it
needs to terminate and return control to the my POJO.
Regards,
Tom

I would recommend that you launch app A in a way that is consistent
with the normal launch of eclipse. By that I mean use a configuration
folder with a config.ini that is the same as if you are launching
your application with the eclipse.exe. The config.ini configures a
set of bundles into the framework for your application. You should be
able to do something like this
String[] equinoxArgs = { "-console", "-noExit",
"-configuration" "/path/to/configuration",
"-application", "myApp.Application"};
BundleContext context = EclipseStarter.startup(equinoxArgs,
null);
Object appResult = EclipseStarter.run(null);

Subject: [equinox-dev] Integrating plugin bundles in normal Java
Hi experts,
I am new to equinox so please excuse me for some obvious/stupid
questions. However, I am still trying to wrap my head around this
module
system.
I am tasked with integrating an existing application A that is build
using bundles and equinox osgi in eclipse into another standalone
Java
program B that will be traditional jar based program. I would like to
invoke the Equinox OSGi system to load these bundles/packages in the
standalone Java program through code and execute the main method of
the
app A through program B.
My setup is as follows:
/plugins/ all the bundles that app A requires are here.
also app A has a main bundle here
I can use Eclipse Application run option to launch it or comandline
"java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -
application myApp.Application ..."
However, I am exploring the option to launch app A with another
existing
java program B. As a prototype, I am writing a plain POJO with main
method:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String[] equinoxArgs = { "-console", "-noExit" };
BundleContext context = EclipseStarter.startup(equinoxArgs,
null);
String pluginDir = "?file:C:\\work\\";
String commonJarName =
"org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.2.0.v20060603.jar";
String configJarName =
"org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.2.2.R32x_v20070111.jar";
Bundle commonBundle = context.installBundle(pluginDir +
commonJarName);
Bundle configBundle = context.installBundle(pluginDir +
configJarName);
configBundle.start();
String jarName = "fetchlets.jar";
String directoryPath = "file:C:\\work\\plugins\\%";
String locationStr = directoryPath + jarName;
Bundle bundle = context.installBundle(locationStr);
bundle.start();
}
However, my bundle fetchlets.jar cannot be started because, the
configurator bundle does not auto-discover all the required bundles
in
the plugins directory. Can someone help me figure out if I can tell
the
EclipseStarter to auto-load all bundles at a specific locations?
Or is there another approach I can use that is very similar to the
run
options in Eclipse where setting the platform will suffice to load
all
the plugins automatically?
I have been looking at:
