[LOC] OSGi EventListener not usable like LicensePackIssueListener

[HannesWell]

Using an OSGi EventListener registered (e.g. as DS component) for the topics

• org/eclipse/passage/loc/api/OperatorLicenseEvents/decodedIssued
• org/eclipse/passage/loc/api/OperatorLicenseEvents/encodedIssued

is not as powerful as registering an LicensePackIssueListener as Eclipse Extension for two reasons:

• Events are processed asynchronously (EventAdmin.postEvent() vs EventAdmin.sendEvent())
• Evens are only fired for personal licenses, not floating licenses

If both points are implemented, using an OSGi EventListener can even be more powerful since the decodedIssued event is fired before the the encoding happens, which allows to enhance the issued decoded license file before it is encoded. This can for example be used to issue Passage 2 complaint files with Passage 3.

@HannesWell many thanks for the finding. Indeed, it revelas that there are two mechanisms for the same purpose, and none of them covers enough ground.

So. In the scope of this task following things shoul be done:

• listener's mechanism is to be eliminated
• floating license issuing is to be reported by events

Irrenevant as LOC sample project has been shut down.
