I have only recently moved to 3.2 and encountering messages about
Activators. Is this the same thing as an AbstractPlugin method? That is, I
have a plugin to control life cycle and it has a start(bundle) method, etc.
Is this now called the activator?
I am heavily basing my RCP development on the Hyperbola example in THE book,
and it does not refer to Activator since it came out a while ago.
Thanks.

Hi Michael
Activator is the almost same thing as Plugin, but it is derived from
OSGi Bundle. Eclipse is based upon OSGi framework(equinox) since 3.1, so
Eclipse Plugin is also OSGi Bundle.
You may be able to see about OSGi Bundle at the appendix A of the RCP book.
