Package org.osgi.framework.launch
Interface FrameworkFactory
@ProviderType
public interface FrameworkFactory
A factory for creating
Framework
instances.
A framework implementation jar must contain the following resource:
/META-INF/services/org.osgi.framework.launch.FrameworkFactoryThis UTF-8 encoded resource must contain the name of the framework implementation's FrameworkFactory implementation class. Space and tab characters, including blank lines, in the resource must be ignored. The number sign (
'#'
\u0023) and all characters following it on each
line are a comment and must be ignored.
Launchers can find the name of the FrameworkFactory implementation class in
the resource and then load and construct a FrameworkFactory object for the
framework implementation. The FrameworkFactory implementation class must have
a public, no-argument constructor. Java™ SE 6 introduced the
ServiceLoader
class which can create a FrameworkFactory instance from
the resource.
