[equinox-dev] Unable to create a platform agnostic target

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

In Eclipse 3.3, after I installed the RCP delta-pack, all installed 
plug-ins would be visible on the "Plug-ins" tab under "Preferences" -> 
"Plug-in Development" -> "Target Platform", including those not 
designated for the current os/ws/arch. In Eclipse 3.4, this list is 
filtered. The same seems to be true for the 
PluginModelManager.getActiveModels().

I just wonder if this difference is deliberate and if so, what methods I 
should use in order to get "all installed" plug-ins, not just the 
filtered ones.

The consequence at present is that when Buckminster attempts to set-up a 
platform agnostic workspace and is unable to find the filtered plug-ins 
in the target platform, it instead downloads them from the update site 
and imports them into the workspace. It works, but the approach taken in 
3.3 with the delta-pack installed was a lot faster.
