Description Don Estberg CLA 2003-05-28 01:02:33 EDT 
"Help -> About <feature> -> Plug-in Details" lists all the plug-ins in the
registry.  But from the user point of view, they could very well be thinking
they are getting a listing of all the plug-ins that Workbench GUI is based on;
that is, the list of plug-ins that are started.  From the point of view of a ISV
providing an application based on in set of plug-ins specified in a USER-INCLUDE
list of a platform.cfg file, they would like to see this list of plug-ins
distinguished from the list of plug-ins from IPluginDescriptor.  One way of
providing this feature would be to add an appropriately-labeled column with a
check mark to the current list.  This might be done in conjunction with 31094,
which is considering adding other columns.  This feature also would help create
a rich client platform (36967).

I think the functionality you are looking for already exists.  Try Help -> 
About Eclipse Platform -> Configuration Details
Comment 2 Don Estberg CLA 2003-05-28 15:19:53 EDT 
I was wrong.  Only the plugins used are listed.
