Loading a plugin [message #156957]

I have two plugins: a core plugin which will have all of my headless
stuff and a ui plugin which will have all of the gui stuff.

I have the ui plugin setup as my application and it runs just fine and
pops up my little hello world JFrame (yes Swing) just fine. In the
Plugin class for my core plugin I overroad the startup method so that it
will check the update server for new updates. The problem is that the
core plugin never gets loaded. What is the best way to go about
ensuring that it is loaded?

Thanks,
-Phil

Your UI plugin should reference some class from the core plugin and call
a method on it. That would cause the core plugin to be activated and the
startup method called on it.

Thanks,
I decided to call:
Plugin plugin = Platform.getPlugin("foo.bar");
which seems to work.
