I took a look at Eclipse page you mentioned but after reading the first page I still don't 
understand what you mean (and I never read beyond the first page ;-).
With a plugin system, I can think of a complete operating system,
or I can think of something like a DTP, or simply Word,
or I can think of something like Signal WorkBench
etc.

I think if you don't express what all of the tasks of that framework will be,
it's not well possible to create one.

Do you want just launching of applications, or do they have to communicate,
exchange data, launch each other, create together one document or more general control one process,
and lots of more questions ;-)

cheers,
