JBoss / Eclipse RCP Integration

Question

I've run into a problem with RCP and JBoss. I'm attempting to seperate the JBoss client libraries (i.e. the .jar files in the 'client' directory of the jboss distribution) from the ejbmodule. The dependency hierarchy goes:

company.client (ejbmodule containing ServiceRemote bean)
org.jboss.client (jboss client libraries)

The problem is that when the org.jboss.client attempts to load ServiceRemote from the server, it tries to do a lookup on ServiceRemote, it can't see it, and throws a ClassNotFoundException

Are there any resources/best practices out there of how to do jboss integration in RCP?

Found the answer - you can use the Eclipse Buddy system to allow low-level plugins to lookup classes which they couldn't normally see. More info here:
