I'm responsible for maintaining code that uses org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.PluginPathFinder.getPluginPaths(). This method has been removed in recent versions. What is the publicly supported to get the list of installed plugins?

I'm not sure there is "API" for doing this, but there are things like PDECore.getDefault().getModelManager().getAllModels() and various other methods on PluginModelManager you can try. But you ask about the list of "installed plugins" but the PDE manages the target platform and the contents of this is, in general, are completely different from what's installed....

I didn't mean "installed" plugins. We are actually just getting the list of plugin jars in an eclipse location. I was able implement the functionality using file apis.
