How to detect if a plugin is present [message #119944]

Mon, 01 September 2003 07:13

Eclipse User

Hi,

How can I detect if a plugin is present?
My plugin does not depend on the other plugin but I want to handle some
things in a different way if the other plugin is also installed.
(otherwise there will be some conflicts between the plugins)

Any idea?

Every hint is welcome.

TIA + regards,

Frank

This will of course also load the plugin and initialize it.
If you just want to know if it exists, use

Platform.getPluginRegistry().getPluginDescriptor("org.eclipse.ui ")
