Get reference to parent plugin OR.... [message #116745]

I am wondering if there is a way to determine what plugin a class belongs
to. I need to find this out from within the java class.

The alternative to doing this is for me to set the order of the plugins
that implement IStartup. I have a couple that do this and I need one to be
the first one for sure so I can do some activities before any other
plugins launch.

Does anyone know anything about either of these.

Thank you,
Greg Roberts

Try this:

IPluginDescriptor findPlugin(Class c) {
ClassLoader target = c.getClassLoader();
IPluginDescriptor plugins[] =
Platform.getPluginRegistry().getPluginDescriptors();
for (int n=0; n<plugins.length; n++) {
if (plugins[n].getPluginClassLoader() == target)
return plugins[n];
}
return null;
}
