How do I determine the contributing bundle for a given extension [message #62819]

I do the following to determine whether the bundle that contributes an
extension to my extension point is loaded:

boolean isPluginLoaded(IConfigurationElement element) {
String symName= element.getContributor().getName();
Bundle bundle= Platform.getBundle(symName);
return bundle != null && bundle.getState() == Bundle.ACTIVE;
}

Is this correct, or should I be using element.getNamespaceIdentifier()?

The spec comments on IConfigurationElement and IContributor are not
entirely clear to me - I am not sure whether an IContributor usually
maps to a Bundle / Plug-in or if this is something entirely different.

Thanks in advance, tom

Oops, this isn't really equinox or osgi related. Reposted on
eclipse.platform.
