I have a simple app (based on the RCP articles originally posted at
http://www.eclipsepowered.org/rcp.html) which I am slowly building up. I
am working on the about box at the moment. What I want to do is something
similar to the way the Eclipse IDE does it (but less involved). I want to
get information about the installed features and use their branding
information to display a dialog box. After reading the code used in
Eclipse's about box I started with the code below.
My problem is I have two plug-ins and two features at the moment but only
the primary one shows up in the collection from
IPlatformConfiguration.getConfiguredFeatureEntries see code below. In
fact I get different results depending on how I run it. If I run from the
command line in my install directory I get this (outside dev environment):
AboutAction run found primary feature ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
Feature ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
Version ID: null
Plug-in ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
If I run from inside Eclipse with the target platform pointing to the
install image I get this:
AboutAction run found primary feature ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
Feature ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
Version ID: 0.1.0
Plug-in ID: com.lesliesoftware.lphoto
So I have two questions: Why is only one of my features showing up? And
why is the version ID missing when I run outside the debugger?

IPlatformConfiguration conf =
BootLoader.getCurrentPlatformConfiguration();
// Primary feature
String featureId = conf.getPrimaryFeatureIdentifier();
ILog log = Platform.getPlugin(PlatformUI.PLUGIN_ID).getLog();
log.log (new Status (IStatus.INFO, PlatformUI.PLUGIN_ID, 0,
"AboutAction run found primary feature ID: " + featureId, null));
//$NON-NLS-1$
System.out.println ("AboutAction run found primary feature ID: " +
featureId); //$NON-NLS-1$
// All features
IPlatformConfiguration.IFeatureEntry[] entries =
conf.getConfiguredFeatureEntries();
for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
featureId = entries[i].getFeatureIdentifier();
String versionId = entries[i].getFeatureVersion();
String pluginId = entries[i].getFeaturePluginIdentifier();
log.log (new Status (IStatus.INFO, PlatformUI.PLUGIN_ID, 0, "
Feature ID: " + featureId, null)); //$NON-NLS-1$
System.out.println (" Feature ID: " + featureId); //$NON-NLS-1$
log.log (new Status (IStatus.INFO, PlatformUI.PLUGIN_ID, 0, "
Version ID: " + versionId, null)); //$NON-NLS-1$
System.out.println (" Version ID: " + versionId); //$NON-NLS-1$
log.log (new Status (IStatus.INFO, PlatformUI.PLUGIN_ID, 0, "
Plug-in ID: " + pluginId, null)); //$NON-NLS-1$
System.out.println (" Plug-in ID: " + pluginId); //$NON-NLS-1$
}

This is working as far as I can tell in an rcp app.
private void loadFeatureData() {
try {

IConfiguredSite[] cs = ls.getCurrentConfiguration()
.getConfiguredSites();
for (int i = 0; i < cs.length; i++) {
IConfiguredSite site = cs[i];
IFeatureReference[] fr = site.getConfiguredFeatures();
for (int j = 0; j < fr.length; j++) {
IFeatureReference ref = fr[j];
IFeature f = ref.getFeature(null);
System.out.println(
f.getVersionedIdentifier().getIdentifier() +
" " +
f.getVersionedIdentifier().getVersion().toString());
}
}

Just so you know, there is work going on in this area to remove the direct
dependency on features. I believe this is scheduled for M8. See IProduct,
IBundleGroup, IBundleGroupProvider and associated methods on Platform to get
an idea of what is coming. The About dialog will be reimplemented in terms
of these classes.

Thanks, Peter.
Funny I still do not see them in the API docs but I added a dependency and
every thing is good.
