[gmt-dev] Are Eclipse extension-points and extensions the standard means for composing GMT components?

This question was answered before, but this may not have been evident, as
the answer was embedded in a longer email:

<jorn> Suggest that we are not religious but pragmatic, i.e. we should avoid
reinventing infrastructure that has nothing to do with model
transformation/generation.

...

<jorn> How far can we leverage the Eclipse plug-in architecture for this
purpose? What do we need to add/subtract from it to meet our needs?

<Markus> If binding to the Eclipse tool is ok, it is perfectly suited. It is
general and powerful enough so that we don't have to adapt anything.

...

<jorn> Good, I'd say that decides the plug-in architecture ;-)

Ghica, jump in if you disagree.
