public static ClassLoader getClassLoaderForService(String path)
```
    If the service specified by serviceId is supplied by a plugin, the ClassLoader used to load classes for the associated plugin is returned. This is a handy method to use if you want to find resources associated with a particular (plugin-supplied) service, such as a GWT serialization policy file, properties files, etc. If the service was not supplied by a plugin, then null is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - a path to a plugin resource
    
    Returns:
    
    the ClassLoader that serves the (plugin-supplied) service, or null if the service was not plugin-supplied or the plugin manager cannot identify the service.
  - getPluginIdFromPath
```
public static String getPluginIdFromPath(String path)

    Parameters:
    
    path - a path to a plugin resource
    
    Returns:
    
    the Id of the plugin
