How can I add new entries to Eclipse's XML Catalog programmatically (instead of using org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.catalogContributions extension point)? The reason I need this is that I have multiple plugins providing XSDs, which can't depend on WTP.

If they can't depend on WTP, or rather the XML plug-ins from WTP, how would they make use of such an API? That is one of the reasons it is an extension point--there is no code dependency forced upon you.

Of course the plugins which contain XSDs can't use it on their own. However, I have another plugin which listens to BundleEvent, checks if the bundle contains an .xsd resource under a specific path, and adds them to the Catalog.

You can alway create an XML Catalog entry that can be used externally as well as used by the WTP XML Catalog. Here is some more information.

The WTP XML Catalog support importing and exporting the catalog entries in the above format.

Does it support importing them programmatically?

You should be able to. Take a look at the code for the XML Catalog import wizard. It should have what you need, or can show you how to do it.
