Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2007-11-16 18:17:28 EST 
Currently, the spy doesn't work on 3.3, some users have requested the functionality and the spy originally did work on 3.3

I believe the issue is with the searchable plugins manager. I'm opening this bug for investigation.

Patches to produce an independent bundle of Plug-in Spy

This patches enable to get Plug-in Spy to work in Eclipse 3.3. Simply copied org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.SearchablePluginsManager.createProxyProject() into SpyIDEUtil class.

By removing the Plug-in Registry View related code, Plug-in Spy is provided as an independent bundle "org.eclipse.pde.runtime.spy", which has no influence on 3.3's Plug-in Registry View.

Chris, do we still need this bug?
Comment 4 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2008-04-11 05:11:58 EDT 
There's not enough time to contain this for 3.4, we will refactor the plug-in spy out into a new plug-in in 3.5... it makes more sense due to the demand.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
