One extra bit of information,. It is only the "Open extension point schema" that is actually broken as in my first email.

When I run this

private static final String ITESTER_ID = "com.hsbcib.grds.testui.flatfiletester";
...
try {
IExtensionRegistry registry = RegistryFactory.getRegistry();
IExtensionPoint extPoint = registry.getExtensionPoint(ITESTER_ID);

for (IExtension e : extPoint.getExtensions()) {
for (IConfigurationElement ce : e.getConfigurationElements()) {
System.out.println("Evaluating extension");
...

I can see the plugin id plus extension point id (in this case the extension point id is 'flatfiletester') in registry.registryObjects.extensionPoints.keyTable, but getExtensionPoint does NOT return it. I assume there is still some mismatch between what one is publishing as the id (plugin id + extension point id) and what the getExtensionPoint expects as the id (extension point id).

Progessed further but still not there.

I changed the code to this

try {
IExtensionRegistry registry = RegistryFactory.getRegistry();
IExtensionPoint[] extPoints = registry.getExtensionPoints();
for(IExtensionPoint extPoint : extPoints) {
if(extPoint.getUniqueIdentifier().equals(ITESTER_ID)) {
for (IExtension e : extPoint.getExtensions()) {
...

This finds my extension point, but the extPoint.getExtensions() returns an empty array. So I cannot help but think there is a difference of expectations between the plugin defining the extension point and the extension that implements that extension point.

Thx.
