Hi,
I want to know if there is a standard way, for an rcp application, to
constrain the access, for example to the main tool bar (to avoid
unwanted contributions).
Is there a way to ignore an unwanted plugin (e.g. added in the rcp
'plugins/' dir) .
I know that this does not respect the plugin's philosophy.. but i don't
want my application to be such open.
valere.

Hi Valere,
There is no standard way to constrain access in the way you suggest. If a
plug-in is in the 'plugins' directory, it's extensions are going to get
loaded into the registry and menu options will show.
It is possible to use the Activities/Contributions framework to filter UI
elements out. There is also some exploratory work going on using XSL
transforms to manipulate plugin.xml files on startup.

This later approach is not easy and also requires you to run with the
-clean flag on at all times, which is not ideal.
Hope this helps,
