43        <p>&nbsp;</p>        <p>September 25, 2003 - New API for dynamically installing plug-ins is available.
44          API changes:
45          <ul>
46          <li>new package org.eclipse.core.runtime.registry - this package provides an extension
47          registry, a simplified view of the plug-in registry. The extension registry (available
48          through the org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform class) provides a way for
49          plug-ins to be notified when extensions are added to or removed from extension points.
50          </li>
51          <li>new methods in org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform - the added methods allow clients to
52          install plug-ins dynamically and to listen to plug-in lifecycle events, such as
53          plug-in addition and activation.
54          </li>
55          </ul>
56          <b>N.B.</b> <i>-dynamic, a new command-line option was defined to put the platform in the
57          "dynamic mode". Currently, this option is required so the APIs described above can be used. This option
58          is temporary and will not be supported in future builds.
