Thanks Dennis and Neil for your replies. I managed to get it working.
When I bring up the RCP App, the services are installed. I can say that by
looking at the debug statements in the bind method. Thereafter the workbench
creates another instance of the View . So I have 2 instances of View. For now I
have gotten around the problem by defining the reference of the remote service
as "static". Not sure if this is the best way.
Neil, I don't see OSGI console while running the RCP App. I do have the
following in my VM args. This is making it very difficult to see which services
are in ACTIVE state. I also tried attaching a port to the console.
Unfortunately because of firewall I cant telnet to the port.
Program Arguments:
-os ${target.os} -ws ${target.ws} -arch ${target.arch} -nl ${target.nl} -
console
VM args:
-Dequinox.ds.print=true -Dequinox.ds.debug=true
Regards
Priyanka

Well spotted Dennis. However the dependency on util is not indirect, it is a
straightforward direct dependency. And util does not need to be started, it
just needs to be present and resolved.
Priyanka, could you show us the output of the "ss" command in the OSGi console?
Note that in general, integrating Eclipse Extensions and OSGi Services (whether
DS or otherwise) is a hard problem because of the lifecycle mismatch and the
semantic differences between extensions and services.
Regards,
Neil

Subject: [equinox-dev] Handling errors in the equinox
To: equinox-dev@eclipse.org
Message-ID:

Hello,
Introduction:
Eclipse UI has a StatusManager, the entry point for all errors. If you want to
raise an issue, you just call StatusManager.getManager(StatusAdapter, style)
and you do not care what will happen next. It is up to application to decide if
the StatusAdapter (Status wrapper) should be shown, processed or only logged or
even ignored.
The problem:
StatusManager was introduced in the Platform UI and therefore is not able to
react correctly to some events that are only logged. More over, listening to
the logs in non ui plug-ins causes some runtime information to be lost.
My question is if equinox team will be open for such contribution (this
requires quite a lot of work, so I'd like to know if this feature is
acceptable).
The underlying bug is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=193110
.
