What is the distinction between the org.eclipse.wb.core.classLoadingContributor extension point and the classLoader-library element used by the toolkit element in the org.eclipse.wb.core.toolkits extension point?
For example, if I have a JAR, myUI.jar, containing my components located in a bundle identified as com.testco.internal.wb, would the XML look like:
<extension point="org.eclipse.wb.core.toolkits">
<toolkit id="com.testco.wb.nwt">
<classLoader-library
bundle="com.testco.internal.wb"
jar="myUI.jar" />
...
</toolkit>
</extension>
Note that this extension is being specified in a different plug-in, i.e. com.testco.wb.nwt.
Where does the org.eclipse.wb.core.classLoadingContributor extension point fall in this scenario?
Thank you for the clarification.

Well, name "classLoadingContributor" does not fully reflects its usage. It is used to load JavaInfo model class during "paste" operation. Paste happens in WB Core, which does not know about specific UI toolkits. So, these toolkits should inform Core that they provide classes for specific namespaces.
classLoader-library is used to contribute jar into toolkit runtime ClassLoader, i.e. put it near to java.awt.Component, etc. So, this allows to load for palette components which are not in classpath yet.
