Hi Dimitri,
Our classpath file engine is a convenience around other existing java
functionality, and most suited for locating unique resources within the
classpath. If you want to list all resources named x in your classpath
it is just as easy to use ClassLoader.getResources("name").
If you want to do this using QFile, you can look in the classpath for
.jar files and then do, "classpath:jarfilename#plugins.xml" to query
each indiviual jar file for its plugin.xml file.
best regards,
Gunnar
