Jeremy, Are you referring to the mechanism for extending Eclipse functionality (the type of stuff at http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/)? I'm aware of that (and have built extensions for other pieces of software that also offer such a mechanism), but have never used it. Or does Eclipse define a mechanism for extending one's own programs? If so, could you provide a link? As far as the Eclipse plugin API, it is one of the goals that I'm going for - being able to write plugins in the future to add to an already compiled program easily.

Jeremy,
I'm just curious, but have you looked at the extension mechanism the Eclipse defines? That has proven to be successful, although perhaps more heavy-weight than you are proposing.

Yes, that is what I was thinking of. Their method seems to involve deriving a class from a well-established extension point used in the application (or another plugin). See page 78 of http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/pdf/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.0.1.... a quick example. I don't have any experience with this, personally, but I thought that it might be something to look into. As far as the Eclipse plugin API, it is one of the goals that I'm going

I would definitely be interested in whatever functionality you come up with in this regard. Jeremy
