Hello all,
dont' you think it would be very nice if it were easier to explore the
eclipse enviroment (a la Smalltalk).
For example browsing loaded classes (and maybe set breakpoints ........!!).
As a first step, it would be nice if eclipse could automatically locate the
source of their jars.....
Best regards,
A.Mottadelli

You can use the PluginRegistry to find out the loaded plugins and from
there get plugin descriptors with their classpaths.
However, all exploration has to be explicitly enabled by the plugin
developers.
Unlike Smalltalk, there is no general reflection on the contents of the
workbench.
If you just want to learn about Eclipse, and how it works internally, I
would
suggest having a look at the Eclipse Monitor
(http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/jikesbt).
