Hello Thomas, you understood my problems in very detail. I use the "osgi.framework.extension"-property to configure my hook and tested a little bit with the "osgi.hook.configurators.include"-property. Both with no success concerning my problems. The framework always starts without any problems. Now I look for an alternative/technical solution, how to reach that the framework only starts, when all hooks or bundles are found and verified. The config.ini would be a possibility, if it could be signed or crypted. Another possibility would be to have a JVM-Option compiled into a startup exe. Both are no perfect solutions but an approach. Perhaps you have some further ideas how to solve this problem. And I wonder, if this requirement never came up before. Thanks Florian Pepping

Or looking for some way to prevent the framework from launching if your extension is not present? I assume you are already using the osgi.framework.extensions property to specify your framework hook and then launching the framework with the equinox launcher (org.eclipse.equinox.launcher). The launcher will search for the framework extensions specified by this property but it will not fail if it cannot find a framework extension specified in this property. The Framework does not fail to launch if an extension is not found it just continues on with the default set of framework-hooks. This would require an enhancement to the framework. But I'm not sure how we would enforce it. It would have to involve some configuration (a setting in the config.ini) to tell the framework to fail when an extension is not present. But this setting could easily be switched off which would open the door again. You could use a bundle on top that verifies that your hook is present and force a shutdown (and/or log an error) if it did not find your extension. But this bundle could be missing also ... > Thanks in advance for your advise. > > Florian Pepping > -- WINCOR NIXDORF International GmbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Paderborn Registergericht Paderborn HRB 3507 Geschäftsführer: Eckard Heidloff (Vorsitzender), Stefan Auerbach, Dr. Jürgen Wunram Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Karl-Heinz Stiller Steuernummer: 339/5884/0020 - Ust-ID Nr.: DE812927716 - WEEE-Reg.-Nr.
