Hi,
With the PDE, there is an interesting option "Validate plugins" prior to
launching (available on the Plug-ins tab of all PDE launchers). This
analyzes the list of plug-ins to find problems with plug-in dependencies.
That does exactly what we would like but for the Platform.
I would like to know if there is a way to check the consistency of the
plugins installed into Eclipse Platform ? Or has someone a plug-in that
does this check ?
Regards,
Jerome

Well, the use case is clear, but it sounds to me like the functionality
you're looking for is in the plug-ins that you've decided not to ship (p2).
