storing session parameters [message #463004]

Hey,

I am looking for a place to store runtime session parameters. These do not
need to be persistent and are not necessarily related to any particular
resource.

My particular scenario is: I obtain a reference to extending plug-in B from
an extension point in plug-in A. I just want a convenient and known place to
store the reference to plug-in B inside some session parameter in A so that
other parts of plug-in A can easily access plug-in B's reference. Thus, the
parameter does not need persistence past the session.

I have tried looking for session parameters but all I find relates to
session parameters for a particular resource (typically a file in the
workspace) . I just need something like System.setProperties(string, obj)
but local to my plug-in.

Thanks
-HC

Save the reference of your object in the Plugin (Activator) class.

Thanks for the reply. Is that really the best way...or...the most used way?
