osgi-tracker

Provide handy way for getting service from OSGi tracker. Major class is kodstark.osgi.tracker.TrackerRegister for getting services on demand from internal stored OSGi tracker.

Standard usecase is to create and close TrackerRegister in bundle activator and query activator for register instance. In that situation each bundle has own register and OSGi trackers are released when bundle is stopped.

public class Activator implements BundleActivator {

    private volatile static TrackerRegister register; 
    
    @Override
	public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
        register = new TrackerRegister(context);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
		register.close();
	}
	
	public static TrackerRegister getRegister()
    {
        return register;
    }
}

[...]

public class SomeWhere
{
    public void foo(String[] args)
    {
        SomeType service = Activator.getRegister().getService(SomeType.class);
        service.bar();
    }
}

It is alternative approach to using OSGi tracker with white board pattern.
