# Plug-in Classpath Contributors

###### Identifier:

org.eclipse.pde.core.pluginClasspathContributors

###### Since:

3.9

###### Description:

This extension point provides a mechanism to contribute additional classpath entries to a plug-in project when the PDE classpath is computered. Each plug-in classpath contributor is consulted for additional entries when the initial classpath is calculated as well as whenever a new bundle dependency is added to the project. The additional classpath entries are only stored as long as the project classpath is. The additional entries will not be considered during plug-in or feature export.
