--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.2.2
> [UIMA eclipse plugins] Possible WRONG wiring of imported packages for UIMA
> Eclipse plugins
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: UIMA-935
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-935
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Eclipse plugins
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2
> Environment: Linux Redhat 5 Enterprise
> Reporter: Tong Fin
> Assignee: Tong Fin
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2.2
>
>
> Problem:
> ----------
> The current UIMA Eclipse plugins (runtime, CDE, etc.) use "Imported Packages"
> for declaring dependencies instead of "Required Plug-ins". This declaration
> is automatically generated by Maven (I think ?) and gives more fine grained
> controls on what to depend on.
> But, there are some side-effects from this approach which may cause the
> problems. The imported packages may wired to the correct packages from the
> "wrong" plugins.
> If there are, for example, two bundles (plug-ins) A and B export the "same"
> package name and B is resolved before A, OSGi will pick B bundle for wiring.
> This wrong wiring issue is happen when I tested CDE and DDE with Eclipse 3.2
> in Linux Redhat 5 (Note that the problem can be happen with any Eclipse and
> platform). The following describes this particular case.
> CDE uses an Xml editor for source editing and this Xml editor requires a
> class called:
> "org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewerConfiguration" from
> "org.eclipse.jface.text" plugin
> Inside Eclipse installation, there is another plugin called
> "org.eclipse.text" that also exports this "org.eclipse.jface.text.source"
> which doesn't have the class "SourceViewerConfiguration".
> When Eclipse runs, the "org.eclipse.text" plugin is resolved before the
> "org.eclipse.jface.text" plugin which causes CDE to be wired to the
> "org.eclipse.text" plugin. The expectation is to wire CDE to
> "org.eclipse.jface.text.source".
> Possible Resolution:
> ------------------------
> One possible resolution is posted by Marshall in response to the thread in
> uima-dev:
> [UIMA eclipse plugins] Possible WRONG wiring between UIMA Eclipse
> plugins
