Eclipse RCP: Dynamically load plugins at runtime

[andre crettaz]

Hello

Is there a possibilty to dynamically load plugins at runtime? When
building a rcp application you always already have to define at
buildtime which plugins(dependencies) are used at runtime and only
these are loaded.
I have now the following use case, I want to build a Eclipse RCP
application with core functionalities. Now I want to define a
directory where I can put in all my extension plugins, so that the
core application loads them when starting, without rebuilding it.
Whats the keyword to achieve such a functionality?


Thanks & Best Regards

Hi,

have a look at OSGi services. http://www.vogella.de/articles/OSGi/article.html

Or if you looking for dynamic UI parts, check out Eclipse e4 / Eclipse
4.0: http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseE4/article.html

Best regards, Lars

Hi Andre,

Take a look at Apache felix install. It might be useful to you.

Regars,
