The OSGi enterprise specification defines two ways of tracking: by service or by bundle.

What are the differences between these two ways? In which cases, one way should be used over another?

Thanks

    Depends on what you are willing to track.

    The BundleTracker tracks bundles, see:

    • http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/util/tracker/BundleTracker.html
    • http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/util/tracker/BundleTrackerCustomizer.html

    And the ServiceTracker tracks service instances, see:

    • http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/util/tracker/ServiceTracker.html
    • http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v42/org/osgi/util/tracker/ServiceTrackerCustomizer.html

    So obviously if you are interested in what happens with bundles, you use the BundleTracker. And if you are interested in service instances, you use the ServiceTracker.
