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

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Torbjørn,

As a wild guess, I'd say this "feature details" is handled by 
org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.AboutFeaturesDialog, where the list of 
displayed bundles is given by the code

// create a descriptive object for each BundleGroup
IBundleGroupProvider[] providers = Platform.getBundleGroupProviders();
LinkedList groups = new LinkedList();
if (providers != null) {
	for (int i = 0; i < providers.length; ++i) {
		IBundleGroup[] bundleGroups = providers[i].getBundleGroups();
               	for (int j = 0; j < bundleGroups.length; ++j) {
			groups.add(new AboutBundleGroupData(bundleGroups[j]));
		}
	}
}

in org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.AboutDialog.

Cheers,
