[news.eclipse.platform] Re: how to read the extensions registry outside

["Rashmy" <appanera@xxxxxxx>]

I found examples in the below two plugins for the creation of my own 
ExtensionsRegsitry outside of the Eclipse IDE
org.eclipse.equinox.test.internal.standalone
org.eclipse.core.tests.internal.registry.simple

But both these require me to pass an IContributor that is defined in 
core.runtime. The contributor is created using 
ContributorFactorySimple.createContributor(contributorID). As I cannot be 
dependent on the core.runtime, is there any alternate way to create my 
registry from the plugin.xml file?

Thanks
