I'm currently looking at enabling participants for Java search. The examples we
have in mind are mathes in JSP's and launch configurations. We have indentified
the need to have a participant at the UI level. What we're missing now is a way
to tie the UI participant back to the core participant. While we can get the set
of all search participants (SearchEngine.getSearchParticipants()), we can't
identify a particular one (i.e. get the JSP search participant).
What we propose is a way to get to associate an id with a search participant.
This would require new API of the form getID(ISearchParticipant) and/or
getSearchParticipant(String id)

This is also needed if we want to use the new search API in refactoring to 
specify the JavaSearchParticiant only. Philippe, can we add this API early M9 ?
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-05-10 05:48:35 EDT 
For reaching the Java search participant:

SearchEngine#getDefaultSearchParticipant()

Do you still need something from us ? If so please reopen.
