Worbench is an internal class. Using internal types and methods is at 
your own risk and can fail at any time.
Having said this, you might want to look at:
 BootLoader.getCurrentPlatformConfiguration()
or if you want to go on with the risk:
 
((Workbench)PlatformUI.getWorkbench()).getConfigurationInfo().getFeaturesInfo();
