hello everyone !
had built two plugins,A and B. A is loaded as the eclipse startup,and
create a TCP/IP connection.Then In B,I want to use this connection for
communication. how can I do to get the object that generated in plugin A.

I think I should first to get the A's plugin object that defined in A's
plugin class(actually I guess that when eclipse loads A,the static plugin
object was created),but I do not konw how?
anyone can help me ?

Check your MANIFEST.MF file, and see if you plug-in defines an
activator. If it does, you should be able to communicate using this.

For example, if A defines the activator APlugin, then you should be able
to say APlugin.getDefault() to get the default instance.

Oh, sorry...
No, this is just like any other Java application, it all depends on how
you architect your system. If you have some sort of Object in Plugin A
that you want to share with other plugins, I would probably instantiate
it when Plugin A is loaded, and then hold a reference to this in your
activator.

Then you can say APlugin.getDefault().getMySharedObject(). I sometimes
use the activator to hold a registry of things other plugins may need.
