Hi Wayne,
Thanks for replying.
Well actually, I am creating a plugin which is dependent on external 
third party jar. I cannot bundle this third party jar along with the 
plugin because every time I release a version of thrid party jar, I 
would have to release a version of plugin also.
So the option that I have now is to dynamically include this third party 
jar in plugin classpath.
The location of this jar is dependent on an external variable set by 
user which he can set through workbench preferences.
