Problem with getting list of installed plugins [message #465260]

Hi,

I have a RCP product application based on one feature.

I want to get a list of all plugins that are stored in the Plugin-Folder of
my product.

I tried to use Platform.getBundleGroupProviders() and iterate over the
result. But only the plugins of the feature seem to be registered here,
not the plugins that are stored additionally in the plugin folder (e.g.
third party plugins). If I try to find the additional ones via
Platform.getBundle(String id) then I get the bundle, but not in the list
above.

How can I list ALL plugins available in the plugins folder?

Thanks!

Greetz,
Carsten

can you not just save your BundleContext in your activator and then use
getBundles()?

Hi Paul!

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Sometimes the answer can be so
near ;-)

Thank you!
