Hi,
I need to programmatically add an extension to a plug-in project. This is part of the code I am using:

IPluginModelBase model = PluginRegistry.findModel(project);
IPluginExtension extension = createExtension(model, info.getExtensionPointId(),true);
IPluginElement element = model.getPluginFactory().createElement(extension);
element.setName(info.getName());

The element.setName() call is throwing an exception because the model is not editable. How do I create an editable model or is there a better way to add an extension?

Thanks,
Steve
