[news.eclipse.platform] Re: How to create a plug-in that uses reflection

[Rich Kulp <richkulp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't use reflection, I would use the JDT instead. Reflection 
requires the classes to be loaded and you can't load classes from an 
Eclipse IDE project into Eclipse.

The JDT does annotation processing on the classes in a project without 
loading them as classes.

However, I don't know the API well enough to tell you how to get the 
annotations themselves from JDT. Maybe someone else can help out there.
