Hi

I'm new to eclipse and quite new to java. So please explain simple :)

I have two plugins and I want them to talk to each other. This should
be done by direct access (object) and not through the extension
points. Two questions:

- How can I find a loaded plugin? There's a GetPlugin method which is
now deprecated. If I have several plugins which are looking for this
other plugin they should all get the same object back.

- How do I need to setup my build.xml for a plugin so that it knows
the other plugin-id (for looking for it and calling functions) but
is not dependent on it? It should also work if the other plugin is
not loaded. When I try to add something to the classpath the add
button is disabled.

Now that 3.0 is released, is there some documentation on it available?
I mean besides the articles on eclipse.org?

Thanks

bye Fabi

I should add that I want to find a plugin that doesn't extend the GUI,
so Workbench.getActivePage().findView or so won't help (I guess).

Thanks
