Description Frank Appel CLA 2011-10-19 01:34:09 EDT 
The current configuration API allows to register IEntryPoint implementation as classes only. To improve the integration with DI capable containers like OSGi DS, Spring etc. there should be the possibility to gain access to the entry point instance before the IEntryPoint#createUI() method gets called. The easiest way to do so is probably to provide an registration possibility that uses an IEntryPointFactory.

Commited a first version that should be completley backwards compatible in CVS-Head
Comment 2 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-03-08 17:58:38 EST 
The IEntryPointFactory interface exists, is useful, and there doesn't seem to be a need for changes. Thanks Frank!
