PackageAdminResolver

public interface DependencyResolver

Simple interface offering utility methods for OSGi dependencies, mainly bundles. This class suplements the PackageAdmin service by offering information on importing, not just exporting.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ImportedBundle[]	getImportedBundles(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle) Returns the bundles imported by the given bundle.

Method Detail

getImportedBundles

ImportedBundle[] getImportedBundles(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle)

Returns the bundles imported by the given bundle. It's up to the implementation to consider required bundles, bundle class-path and dynamic imports.

The returned array should not contain duplicates (each imported bundle should be present exactly once).

In general it is not expected to have knowledge about runtime loading (such as dynamic imports).

Parameters:

bundle - OSGi bundle for which imported bundles will be determined

Returns:

a not-null array of importing bundles
