Ed,
I see the following item in the list: Allow plug-in deactivation. Not sure
how far we can go

Matt,
Can you point us to some short-concise JMX doc about loading/unloading ?
I want to know how far the Update Manager can reuse some of the techniques

Ed & eclipse-dev,

Is there any interest in using Java Management eXtensions and/or the JBoss
microkernel for this purpose?

It seems to me that the differences between server-side dynamic module
loading and client side dynamic module loading are few, if any.

Based on my experience with Eclipse and JBoss I see a lot of similarities
in architecture and approach.  JMX is also generally gaining acceptance,
and comes with a lot of useful features beyond dynamic loading.

One item that I think should be on the 2.2 plan is dynamic loading and
unloading of Eclipse plugins. This would allow the user to install and
uninstall features and plugins without restarting Eclipse. Currently
Eclipse exits with a special return code and the native Eclipse executable
re-invokes the java part. If there's not currently an open feature request
on this (I didn't find one on a search) I'll be happy to open one. Thanks.
