Comment 1 Christoph Laeubrich CLA 2020-06-16 09:59:02 EDT 
You can get the groups that are shown in the traditional About Dialog via the

> IBundleGroupProvider[] providers = Platform.getBundleGroupProviders();

call, the group providers supply information via org.eclipse.ui.branding.IBundleGroupConstants these constants could be moved to IBundleGroupProvider for better accessibility.
Comment 2 Alexander Fedorov CLA 2020-06-16 12:56:18 EDT 
I would create dedicated classes to represent feature and bundle for "about" instead of moving constants to IBundleGroupProvider and accessing generic IBundleGroup using procedural style.
Comment 3 Christoph Laeubrich CLA 2020-06-16 13:47:03 EDT 
So you think we should add the 46897. Bundle/Feature Abstraction?  If you don't like to access it via Platform you can still collect the IBundleGroupProvider itself.
