Hi friends, 
 
I have started to learn about Eclipse/RCP/SWT recently. My project  
requires me to create a Eclipse RCP framework with the following features: 
 
* Support some default plugins (like web browser plugin, telnet plugin,  
editor plugin) * It should support other developers to write their own  
plugin and add their plug-in to the existing framework with minimal  
effort. For example, Eclispe IDE automatically recognizes plugins when  
they are placed in the 'plugins' folder. 
 
* The possibility to access a plugin should be specific to the user role.  
Certain plugins should NOT be accessible to people with fewer rights. 
 
* The user should be able to navigate among the plugins from a single GUI.  
For example, Eclipse IDE supports us to use multiple plugins within a  
single GUI. 
 
* Java web start support for launching the framework. 
 
Thats all for now :) 
 
I have summirized the entire requirement here. So pls don't mistake me if  
it is too demanding. 
 
I want hint from you people how/where to start with. Basically the  
framework should detect the presence of newer plugins and load them  
accordingly. Then the framework should provide a way to access the new  
plugin. 
 
 
I want to look into Eclipse source code. But there are too many packages  
in Eclipse source code and I don't know where to start with. Please help  
on that too!! Tons of thanks for reading till this point :)
