disable a plugin programmatically? [message #48139]

We are developing applications to deploy on the eclipse framework,

different functionalities based on their roles after they
log in.

When a user does not have the privilege to run certain
functionalities, we would like to turn it off dynamically
after authenticating the user.

How can we do that?

thanks

AFAIK, it is not possible to do that at the moment (because the plug-ins are
not dynamic). Ther's an Eclipse project, Equinox, which is addressing this
matter (but it's in a very early stage).

after startup all plugins are already identified, so neither adding or removing
them will succeed
one nasty way of getting what you want would be to hack the startup code (but i
guess there might be _no way_ you would do that in an API-clean way)

anyways, eclipse.plaftorm is your newsgroup, this issue has not too much to do
with jdt

cheers
