如何访问plugin.xml中的数据？

Question

I am currently developing a Java RCP with Eclipse RCP which has a plugin.xml where one can find information like ID , version , Name , plattform , and so on....

Now, my question is, whether it is possible to somehow access the plugin.xml from my java code. Is it for example possible to load the ID into a therefor created variable?

edit I want to access the ID you can find when you open the plugin.xml file with the plug-in manifest editor. I tried the approach with Platform.getBundle("plugin.xml") , but I only received an object refering to null .

edit2 I also tried Platform.getProduct().getId(); but it seems getProduct() also returns null . Does anyone have a clue why those two approaches mentioned above do not work? Or does anyone have a proper solution for accessing the ID ?

Thanks in advance.

You can use Platform.getBundle("symbolic.name") to get the reference to your plugin. You can get version number and id from the Bundle object. http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/org/osgi/framework/Bundle.html
