Figuring out what plugin contributes what UI element [message #302655]

Hi all,

Another newbie question. Is there an easy way to determine what plugin
contributes what UI element? I want to be able to see a menu item or a
wizard page or a view and know what plugin contributed that UI element. I
tried using the plugin search dialog without luck. What I'm doing now is
"Find References" on the extension point, once I figure out what the
extension point is. But then I have to wade through tons of extensions...
What do you all do to locate the source of a UI element?

Hmmm, that's how I do it. Go to the Plug-in Registry view and find the
extension point (most of the org.eclipse.ui.* ones are declared in
org.eclipse.ui).

Then wander through the extension points, looking for the one you want.
It's not so bad for editors, but horrible for key bindings.

Later,
