access other plugins (without dependeny) [message #87109]

Hello,
in my eclipse RCP how can i access the API/packages of another plugin
that is not a dependency of myPlugin?

I am asking this because... I am writing a scripting engine plugin. The
script writer should have the possibility to access packages/instances
of other plugins. The scripting engine plugin development does not have
a list of all possible "other" plugins that might be from a third party.

Any idea?

Any idea:
how to do
"DynamicImport-Package: *"? Can i do this at runtime?

best regards,

Write your own classloader that knows how to do this. Just remember that
this will break the module level of OSGI.
