Body
I have developed an application using the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/reflections/" rel="noreferrer">Reflections</a> library for querying all the classes having a particular annotation. Everything was working like a charm until I decided to create an Eclipse plug-in from my application. Then Reflections stop working. Given that my application is working fine when not part of an Eclipse plug-in, I think it should be a class-loader problem. So I added to my <code>Reflections</code> class the classloaders of the plug-in activator class, the context class loader, and all other class loaders I could imagine, without any success. This is a simplified version of my code: <pre><code>ConfigurationBuilder config = new ConfigurationBuilder(); config.addClassLoaders(thePluginActivatorClassLoader); config.addClassLoaders(ClasspathHelper.getContextClassLoader()); config.addClassLoaders("all the classloaders I could imagine"); config.filterInputsBy(new FilterBuilder().include("package I want to analyze")); Reflections reflections = new Reflections(config); Set<Class<?>> classes = reflections.getTypesAnnotatedWith(MyAnnotation.class); //this Set is empty </code></pre> I also tried adding URLs of the classes I want to load to the <code>ConfigurationBuilder</code> class, but it did not help. Could someone tell me if there is a way to make <code>Reflections</code> work as part of an Eclipse plug-in ?, or should I better look for another alternative ?. Thanks a lot, I am really puzzled about it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
