There seem to be 2 separate issues here:
using a URL (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140610) and
needing to import org.eclipse.osgi. While it is _not_ unreasonable to have
to import the org.eclipse.osgi bundle into a workspace to develop and test
a framework extension it _does_ seem unreasonable to have to import it
in source from and build it. The symptoms I see are that while my extension
(a source project in my workspace with the necessary hookconfigurators.properties
file) is recognized and loaded according to the trace, my HookConfigurator
is not driven:

Configuration location:

When I have org.eclipse.osgi as a source project I get the following:

Configuration location:
    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/pde-junit/
Configuration file:
    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/pde-junit/config.ini loaded

    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/org.eclipse.osgi/

        eclipse.properties not found
Framework classpath:
    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/org.eclipse.osgi/bin/
    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/org.aspectj.osgi/bin/
    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/org.eclipse.osgi/

    file:/C:/workspaces/aspects-equinox-incubator-1/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/pde-junit/.options loaded

The main difference seems to be that my extension org.aspectj.osgi is not added to the Framework classpath which may explain why my HookConfigurator is not found.
