please add Eclipse Buddy Policy ------------------------------- Key: LBCLASSIC-179 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-179 Project: logback-classic Issue Type: Improvement Components: Other Affects Versions: 0.9.18 Reporter: ekkehard gentz Assignee: Logback dev list if you're using LogBack in an Eclipse Equinox OSGI environment and you write Appenders or Converters then logback.classic must "know" them. One way is to use a Fragment Bundle with logback.classic as host bundle. But Fragments are not very flexible and you have to restart your OSGI Framework. If using Eclipse Equinox as OSGI Framework you can use Eclipse Buddy Policy read more here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Context_Class_Loader_Enhancements It would be great if you add the following line to MANIFEST.MF of logback.classic bundle: Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered If running in other OSGI Frameworks like Felix this line will be ignored, but running Equinox you can now do the following: my.appender.bundle has Dependency to logback.classic as Required Bundle and I can add Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: logback.classic Now my Bundle is a Buddy of logback.classic and logback.classic 'knows' my classes -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
