Description Mickael Istria

2021-03-23 03:48:38 EDT

Some recent development (eg bug 570459) have enabled extensibility of the Eclipse Platform by using OSGi services. Currently, Platform has a good description of extensibility via extension points (see https://help.eclipse.org/2021-03/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fextension-points%2Findex.html ). We need something equivalent for extensibility via OSGi services.

This could start as a simple list of Service interfaces that are meant to be provided by extenders.

I suggest we start a eclipse.platform.common.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/services/index.html with links to Javadoc of the service interface that are available for extension and provider (via DS or whatever OSGi service strategy). What do you think?

A new document is now in help, sibling of extension-points entry. New OSGi services that are open to external extensions should now be referenced from this.document.
