Here\'s something obvious that should be easy to do...

How do I retrieve a list of installed plugins at runtime? Can\'t see an obvious way to do this a Platform.getBundl

Answer 1

If you're looking to write this in your code, see VonC's answer.

If you just want a view that does this, there's already one in eclipse: Window->Show View->Other...->PDE Runtime->Plugin Registry. This displays plugins, their extensions, dependencies, and who is providing extensions.
