| Installation location from BaseInstallHandler [message #144161] |

I am writing a custom InstallHandler (that extends BaseInstallHandler) for
a feature. In the completeInstall() method, I need to determine the
installation location for the plugins, so I can perform some operations on
the newly installed files. Is there any way to do this using the update
API?
(I used to do this using
Platform.getPlugin("org.eclipse.update.core").find(new Path("."));
and then going up a level to find the plugins directory, but this doesn't
work in general, since Eclipse extension plugins may be installed in a
separate directory)

It looks like I mixed things up a bit :-)
I'd say take a look at DeltaInstallHandler, which is used to install partial
plug-ins by first installing the partial plugin and then copies the
remaining files from the old version of the plugin.
