Description Jaroslav Tulach 2011-06-30 14:06:59 UTC

Some OSGi frameworks use Bundle.getEntry to seek for important files in all bundles (so called extender pattern). Too bad this does not work for faked OSGi bundles created for NetBeans modules.

For such bundles the getEntry(..) call ways returns null

This is the behavior for Felix as well Netbinox.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-01-20 19:41:38 UTC

The problem is that only modules with public-packages are currently exported as OSGi bundles. If a module exports no packages, then its Bundle is not going to be available.

We should probably add some resource detection via branding. E.g. JDev could say that each module with META-INF/extension.xml is supposed to have a bundle.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-01-31 11:06:56 UTC

The module that exports an entry needs to declare OpenIDE-Module-Public-Packages or Netigso-Export-Package
