I am running a program in com.me.X.jar . In an external com.me.Y.jar , I have a configuration file located at ' config/conf.txt ' in the root of the Jar. How can I access this configuration file programmatically from within Java? com.me.Y.jar is not currently loaded in memory and is composed of just non-code resources. jar files are just zip files. So google for an example how to read a zip file. Or have a look at the API ZipInputStream The easiest option for reading embedded resources is to use Class.getResource or Class.getResourceAsStream I can think of several ways to achieve this,

I have an Eclipse RCP application, and I am trying with no luck to install a plugin I have created that should be deployed separately to the aforementioned application. To do so, I start the application as ./App -console , and when it has stopped loading, I type: install file://URLTOjAR/plugin.jar It returns me a plugin ID (lets say 288 ), so I type afterwards: start 288 After this, the plugin is working fine, but when I restart the application, by using ss I only can see that the plugin is only "Resolved", but I'd like it to be started. Is there a way to automate this? The installed and

I have services that need to be created on a per-configuration base, each of which relies on an external resource and thus should manage it's own lifcycle (i.e. (de)register the service). Thus implementing these as DS and let SCR spawn multiple instances does not work. One can implement a bundle that registers a ManagedServiceFactory to accomplish this task perfectly (see my previous post ). But as a consequence, if the factory depends on several other services, you need to start tracking those services and write a lot of glue code to get everything running. Instead I'd like to implement the

I have an Eclipse bundle and want to get a list of all classes from this bundle. How can I do it? The name of the classes from the bundle will be in classNameOfCurrentBundle list in the end: BundleWiring bundleWiring = bundle.adapt(BundleWiring.class); // Getting all the class files (also from imported packages) Collection<String> resources = bundleWiring.listResources("/", "*.class", BundleWiring.LISTRESOURCES_RECURSE); List<String> classNamesOfCurrentBundle = new ArrayList<String>(); for (String resource : resources) { URL localResource = bundle.getEntry(resource); // Bundle.getEntry()

I'm planning to build a Java-based system to handle different business processes where each of these is a particular module in the system. Most modules would depend on some of the other modules to handle their particular business process. In other words, top modules would consume some sort of basic services provided by underlying modules. Some modules will be developed from the very beginning, but some will be added to the system later. Next, some modules will expose RESTful interfaces to handle external input / output. To handle all this, OSGi seems appropriate, but it's a bit difficult to
