Eclipse framework with multiple plugin support [message #64269] Sat, 01 April 2006 08:11

Hi friends,

I have started to learn about Eclipse/RCP/SWT recently. My project
requires me to create a Eclipse RCP framework with the following features:

* Support some default plugins (like web browser plugin, telnet plugin,
editor plugin) * It should support other developers to write their own
plugin and add their plug-in to the existing framework with minimal
effort. For example, Eclispe IDE automatically recognizes plugins when
they are placed in the 'plugins' folder.

* The possibility to access a plugin should be specific to the user role.
Certain plugins should NOT be accessible to people with fewer rights.

* The user should be able to navigate among the plugins from a single GUI.
For example, Eclipse IDE supports us to use multiple plugins within a
single GUI.

* Java web start support for launching the framework.

Thats all for now :)

I have summirized the entire requirement here. So pls don't mistake me if
it is too demanding.

I want hint from you people how/where to start with. Basically the
framework should detect the presence of newer plugins and load them
accordingly. Then the framework should provide a way to access the new
plugin.


I want to look into Eclipse source code. But there are too many packages
in Eclipse source code and I don't know where to start with. Please help
on that too!! Tons of thanks for reading till this point :)


Regards,
Navanee
