Find out classpath of another Plugin? [message #290633]

Hi there,
I am working on Eclipse 3.1 and am getting a bit confused about all
this bundle-stuff.
Is there a way for a plugin to find out about the (absolute)
class-path of another plugin?

I have a plugin A, that contains/defines some libraries.
Plugin B uses these libraries for some ui-stuff etc.

Now I want to build a launcher in B, that launches a JVM in an extra
process (like an external program) with the libraries of plugin A
specified as "-cp ...".

And, will this work also for a runtime-workspace, i.e. running these
plugins from the workspace, instead of having them "really" installed ?

Thanks for any help.
Robert

You can get the plugin classpath out of the OSGi headers, check out this
