Does eclipse v3.4 have API to return a list of installed features within eclipse during runtime?

See IBundleGroupProvider and IBundleGroup ... try
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getBundleGroupProviders()

Tried your recommendation and add IBundleGroup to a list as
IBundleGroupProvider[] bgrpProviders = org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getBundleGroupProviders();
if( bgrpProviders != null ){
for(IBundleGroupProvider bgrpProvider: bgrpProviders){
if( bgrpProvider != null ){
String providerName = bgrpProvider.getName();
IBundleGroup[] grps = bgrpProvider.getBundleGroups();
if( grps != null ){
for(IBundleGroup grp: grps){
if( grp != null ){
String id = grp.getIdentifier();
String name = grp.getName();
String ver = grp.getVersion();
list.add("Provider "+providerName+"[id="+id+",name="+name+",ver="+ver+"] ");
}
}
}
}
}
}

found that it only found a limited set of features installed in the user's workspace but not all of them.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

This API will provide features installed in the running eclipse instance.

They won't provide any information about what's in the workspace. Are
you trying to find out what's in the user's workspace?

Sorry for confusing.

I want to get features installed in the running eclipse instance.

But it does not provide all features installed in the running clipse instance.
