EMF Core 2.10 as of commit b86b9a8 (Dec. 18 2013)

The EcorePlugin.ExtensionProcessor is very convenient for loading plugin.xml extensions in a non-Eclipse deployment.  However, its method of scanning the classpath for plugin.xml resources by parsing the java.class.path system property only works on Windows.  This property uses the ";" separator only on that platform.  The parsing should split on the value of the "path.separator" system property.

This bug blocks the implementation of extension-processor support in UML2 (bug 401804).

I have pushed a Gerrit review that works for UML2 in stand-alone mode on Mac platform (at least):

Ed, any chance Christian's fix could be reviewed/committed and included in an upcoming integration build?

Rather than using system properties, I've used File.pathSeparator.  The change is committed to master.
