Dan, as per our discussion, if you finish list of JIRAs I gave you before I return after next week can you please investigate how to use the Eclipse Extension Registry 'stand-alone', outside of eclipse. I need to know the programming model to instantiate a registry object and parse the plugin.xml files.
You can post to the user forum for the Eclipse Equinox project, which develops the extension registry, but their preferred approach described by the project website is that you do some research first, before asking for help, and make sure you use the user forum, not the developers mailing list. Below are some links from last time I looked into this. I think there's a code example in there to get you started - possibly in the test classes.
