Thanks for the info. I'm getting all the plugin.xml files from the classpath
with:
getClass().getClassLoader().getResources("plugin.xml");
The result I'm parsing and then creating new QFile's with
"classpath:jarfilename#plugins.xml" to read the content from the files. It
works
very nice and was easy to implement. Thanks for the suggestion.
