Registry refresh for Extensions [message #539864]

Hi,
I've defined an extension point. I use this to add additional functionality to my headless RCP application. This woks fine so far.
IExtensionRegistry reg = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
IExtension[] extensions = reg.getExtensionPoint(CUSTOM_TASK_EXTENSION).getExtensions() ;
provides all the extensions I need.
But I also want that a new extension can be dropped during runtime in the /plugins folder and another call of the to the registry would provide an updated list.
This is not the case, I always get the initial list.
Is there a way to reload/update that registry?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers, Stephan

I recommend that you ask this question on the eclipse.technology.equinox
forum.
