I have now set "Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: global" to the JDom Plugin and its
working! I wonder if that option has any sideeffects, like performance for
the lookup?

Btw it did not work using the other Buddy-Policy "registered". I set the
JDom Plugin to "Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered" and the Xerces Plugin to
"Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: foo.bar.xerces". I assume the symbolic ID after
Eclipse-RegisterBuddy is free to chose?
