Description Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-03-25 16:01:49 EST
When external plug-ins are JARd, it is not possible to see the inside in the 
Plug-ins view. I propose that you return 'true' when asked if the node has 
children in the content provider. When asked to provide children, lazily peek 
into the JAR and hang onto the objects (cache them and close the JAR handle). 
Caching is OK since they will not change in the JAR anyway.

Opening files, copying etc. of the children may prove interesting though :-).
