Verry interresting article.
I am working on a open source project, building a plugin engine and an swing ui framework around it.
The core plugin of the ui framework does things like menu management, other plugin can define menu (items) and there are automaticly added to the ui.
When a plugin is unloaded the menu (items) of that plugin is removed from the ui.
I think this feature can be verry useful for developers, you don't need to restart the application during ui development . When you want to change the ui you unload the old ui plugin and load the new one and the ui is updated.
You can find the project at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine.
