Hi all,
sorry, if this is slightly off topic.
I try to figure out how to design an application which leverages the
dynamics and extensibility of OSGi (general design principles).
Eclipse is always the first example people cite as an as a production
ready, successful application based on OSGi. This may direct one to
think that Eclipse uses OSGi best practices a lot, and copying Eclipse
design decisions as patterns leads to a good design automatically.
I am quite sure that this does not hold true. For instance Eclipse uses
dependencies between bundles a lot, although the preferred way to manage
dependencies is via packages (as it is said in the spec and may online
resources).
Do you know other examples for decisions made in Eclipse, which cannot
be used as general design principle. Or the other way around: anything,
that *can* be recommended.
Thanks in advance + Greetings from Hamburg,
Stefan
