Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2012-07-10 11:56:21 EDT 
If a ServiceReference refers to a service provided by a plugin, there should be an API for finding out what plugin it is.

I propose adding a special property "__plugin__" to the service properties of plugin-provided services, its value will be the plugin's URL.
