All Implemented Interfaces:
Logger, ResourceLocator

public final class CommonPlugin
extends EMFPlugin

The Plugin for the model EMF.Common library. EMF must run within an Eclipse workbench, within a headless Eclipse workspace, or just stand-alone as part of some other application. To support this, all resource access should be directed to the resource locator, which can redirect the service as appopriate to the runtime. During stand-alone invocation no plugin initialization takes place. In this case, common.resources.jar must be on the CLASSPATH.
