Hi all, I don't know if this sounds a little bit odd, but I'd like to run a HiveMind application inside Eclipse. As the application is split into multiple modules, of which not always all will be used, I thought it would be natural to map every module to an Eclipse plugin.
Without thinking further about it I did just that. Of course I ran into problems: HiveMind doesn't find the module descriptors as I think the Eclipse plugins are all loaded by a separate class loaders. Before trying to implement a solution to this I was wondering if anybody else had done something like this before. I think it should be quite easy to support HiveMind applications inside Eclipse. I'd have to create a HiveMind plugin which exposes a extension point for registering HiveMind modules in other plugins. This should let HiveMind (using a custom ModuleDescriptorProvider) construct the registry. Are there problems with this approach or can someone think of a better idea?
