[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Reading info from plugin.xml

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chris, this seems to be exactly what I was searching for. I 
didn't find the actual entry point to all of this API :).

A little off subject but since I see this I might also get the info : 
does this provide a way to get a default class loader for the plugins of 
the workspace without launching a second runtime? Could be awesome to 
test classes currently in development (might prove a little error-prone 
but ... :)).
