For now, the config.ini is probably your best option. In Eclipse 3.5 Galileo, you will be able to use P2 touchpoint advice file (p2.inf) to indicated your bundle should be "markStarted" as well as set its "startLevel".

From: equinox-dev-boun...@eclipse.org [mailto:equinox-dev-boun...@eclipse.org] On Behalf Of J B Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 3:52 PM To: equinox-dev@eclipse.org Subject: [equinox-dev] Autostarting Bundles I have a small server-side equinox application running. I would like to autostart a couple of other bundles automatically. The Eclipse-AutoStart is deprecated, and the Bundle-ActivationPolicy only accepts 'lazy' as a value. Is there an accepted way to auto start bundles without having the explicitly in the config.ini? We have used a solution in the past that require the plugins wishing autostart to register an extension to a service that will start them on their behalf. But it seems like there must be a different way. Any thoughts?
