I was rather thinking it to be CDK plugin based injection; rather

specifying a separate directory separately because any CDK version

is, when a particular CDK plugin is registered (which would also mean
different versions of CDK can be tested out-of-box), it will
automatically come with the jars as part of injection; so the users
does not need to take care about the right version everytime. Similar
usecases can be seen in GWT and JUnit plugins.
You beat me to it. By injection you mean dependency. The two approaches
are similar in concept but different. Sumanth equating a "dir" location
to "plugin". I would say "plug-in" may be be wise decision out of two
based on eclipse architecture. We will have a Teiid plugin for execution
later, that could use too as slurping in the dependencies.
