For plugins which operate on bytecode, you need to have access to the binary 
class files. Currently you have to implement the logic to find the compiled 
classes on your own, but it's a very complex task: there can be several source 
folders, several binary folders, files can be excluded from compilation and so 
on. The JDT has the logic where to write the files to and so I'd suggest to 
extend the API to ask the JDT where the compiled version of a resource 
resides. Beside the current application in my plugin, I think such 
functionality is needed also by the AJDT and every aspect-oriented plugin for 
eclipse.
