[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Can I get a list of installed features?

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how to do this, but I do expect it comes from one of the update 
plugins.

I would suggest looking at how the about box gets its list. 
(Help->About->Feature Details).  I'm not sure where the about box code is though.
