An extension point declared in a plug-in.

available for an extension point is obtained from the declaring plug-in's
manifest (plugin.xml
) file.
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Note: This is obsolete API that will be replaced in time with the OSGI-based Eclipse Platform Runtime introduced with Eclipse 3.0. This API will be deprecated once the APIs for the new Eclipse Platform Runtime achieve their final and stable form (post-3.0).
public String getParentIdentifier()
Note: This is an early access API to the new OSGI-based Eclipse 3.0 Platform Runtime. Because the APIs for the new runtime have not yet been fully stabilized, they should only be used by clients needing to take particular advantage of new OSGI-specific functionality, and only then with the understanding that these APIs may well change in incompatible ways until they reach their finished, stable form (post-3.0).
