Extension and Extension Points [message #1729789]

I have created an extension point in one plugin(say plugin 'X') and I have installed that plugin in a new workspace. In this new workspace, I have created a plugin project and I am trying to access the extension point through below code:

1.

public class Tester {

public static void main(String[] args) {
IExtensionRegistry registry =Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
registry.getExtensionPoint(extensionPointId);
}

}

The problem here is the registry is null.

I searched on the internet and found some other way of getting the registry. But the problem there was IExtensionPoint object was null.

This is not a question about modeling. Note that you should run your
test code as an Equinox application, not a stand alone Java main if you
want the registry to be initialized property by the OSGi runtime.
