Description Lars Vogel

I tried using getViewSite().getServices(MyService) for a View in the compatibility layer and hoped to get my own defined service. 

I checked in the console and saw that my service was registered. Is this supposed to work?

How did you define this service? Is this an OSGi service or are you using a service factory of Eclipse?

@Remy: I registered it as OSGi service. My assumption was that this would be one of the enhancements of e4 for "old" RCP applications.

If it's an OSGi service then this should certainly work, I'll take a look. Thanks for the info, Lars.

Lars, was it a service registered through code or a DS?

I declared a DS and my view's getSite().getService(*) method was able to return the object.

Retested. Works. For for the long delay in testing.
