I see that you can discover the defining bundle with something like this:

String bundleName =
Platform.getProduct().getDefiningBundle().getSymbolicName();

Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(bundleName);

But once I have the bundle is there any way to get a reference to it's
associated Plugin

Thanks,

What does "a reference to it's associated Plugin" mean? It's manifest?
It's plugin.xml? Or do you mean you want to access the activator class
so you can do something like MyPlugin.getDefault()?

To get the activator class you could find the class name from the bundle
header, ask the bundle to load the class, and use reflection to run the
getDefault() method.

Yea, I wanted to access the activator class.

Thanks for your response, I'll give that a try.
