You can't do this with a plug-in. A plug-in is always located and running on the BASE server and is used and executed from the web interface. Since Bioclipse seems to be a Java program and has some kind of plug-in structure you should be able to create code that use the regular BASE API to let Bioclipse load data from BASE. If you want webservices you will have to do most of the work yourself. We have been experimenting with this and there is a prototype branch and a perl library for using it: http://lev.thep.lu.se/trac/baseplugins/wiki/se.lu.thep.webservices_clients It provides functionality for listing Affymetrix experiments and downloading associated CEL and CDF files. Unfortunately the webservices branch is currently not working due to some problems with the Subversion repository.
