Re: [pde-ui-dev] Extracting information from plugin.xml
|
Rajeev,
PDE does have a model of the world in the workspace, but it is not public
(note that 'internal API' do not exist in Eclipse - things are either API
or internal :-).

[pde-ui-dev] Extracting information

Please respond to

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to extract information from thr
plugin.xml corresponding to a plugin project thats still being developed
i.e. a plugin thats in the workspace and has NOT been deployed yet.
The situation is similar to the Hello World plugin. When you create the
HelloWorld plugin the user provides the name and location of the action
class. Here is a snippet of the plugin.xml:
<action
label="&Sample Action"
icon="icons/sample.gif"
class="hello.actions.SampleAction"
tooltip="Hello, Eclipse world"
menubarPath="sampleMenu/sampleGroup"
toolbarPath="sampleGroup"
id="hello.actions.SampleAction">
</action>
I want to extract the string corresponding to the class tag i.e.
"hello.actions.SampleAction" in this case.
Are there any public (or internal) APIs in the PDE that can be used to do
this (or is there any alternate way to do this) ?
Thanks,
Rajeev
