How to programmatically import plug-ins and fragments from jar files [message #1017679]

I have some plug-ins and fragments exported in some jar files. I need to programmatically import those plug-ins and fragments as it is usually done through GUI by using File --> Import --> Plug-in Development --> Plug-ins and Fragments in order to have these in my current workspace. I have read some posts related to import projects (i.e., by exploiting .project) but in this case I only have jar files.

Snippets and/or hints will be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Luca

Maybe this is what you are looking for:
File > New > Other... > Plug-in from Existing JAR Archives

Thank you for your reply. The procedure you posted is another way to do that by using the GUI. However, I need to obtain the same result programmatically for importing plug-in and fragments into the current workspace.
