The Factory Utility

The class FactoryUtility is a singleton that provides access to the abstractions used to implement the BaseBundleActivator and ManagedServiceFactoryBundleActivator. While it is not typically necessary to use these abstractions, they provide a more flexible, and somewhat more complicated, alternative to subclassing.

To access the FactoryUtility singleton use the static method FactoryUtility.getInstance(). The FactoryUtility methods fall into the following categories:

Activation/Deactivation
- IBundleActivationManager
- IManagedServiceFactoryActivationManager
Importing Services
Exporting Services
Miscellaneous
