Is that based on the OSGi core now? I recall the spec says that. But did
Eclipse do it that way prior as well, where only one plugin was selected? If
so, how does the runtime determine which one to choose? How does it avoid
compatibility issues or for that matter when an end user updates one plugin
that no longer works with other plugins the older version used to work with,
does the end user get shafted, or does the runtime revert to the old one, or
what? I thought it could load multiple versions of the same plugin and work
with them all?
I am curious why the built in serialVersionUID stuff to determine compatible
class versioning is not used? Is it too cumbersome for plugin developers to
learn how to use that mechanism?
