I am writing an application that uses Equinox as my OSGi framework. I am trying to discover all of the bundles that are known at the time that my bundle is registered. I attempted to use the following line to retrieve all of the available bundles. However,

EclipseStarter.getSystemBundleContext().getBundles();

gives me a warning of…

Discouraged access: The method getSystemBundleContext() from the type EclipseStarter is not accessible due to restriction on required library D:\java\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.0.v20080605-1900.jar

What is the proper usage to get a list of all of the available bundles within the framework?

  1. You could use your own bundle context as an entry point instead of the EclipseStarter – in your plugin activator:

    start(BundleContext context) {   context.getBundles();  // what you want }

    Look at the Plugin cans AbstractUIPlugin classes if you don’t know about them. If you really need singleton access, your plugin is probably one – feel free to expose YourPlugin.getInstance().getBundleContext().

    (Disclaimer: I haven’t tried it – but it would be consistent with OSGi/Eclipse)
