The PDE perspective has some nice views for this kind of thing. Also
Help->About Eclipse SDK provides this information. Running with -clean
-debug will produce helpful logged details about plugin activation and
why plugins are disabled (although -debug was broken in RC2 I think it's
fixed now in RC3).

That's not a plugin. That class is in
org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources. If you do Window->Show
View-Other...->PDE->Plugin-ins, select them all, and use Add To Java
Search, it will be easier to find classes. You could create a plugin
that depends on all other plugins and then the little right left
navigator button in the navigator/explorer will locate the file its
plugin...

To make this last suggestion a lot easier, get the "Reference Project"
tool from http://www.qualityeclipse.com/
This tool makes it easy to include all installed Eclipse plugins
available for things like Ctrl+Shift+T and Java Search.
From the web page:
"Our approach, useful for searching and supporting multiple versions of
Eclipse at the same time, is to create one reference project for each
version of Eclipse to be searched. This project contains no source of
its own, but contains all the Eclipse plug-ins on its classpath so that
a search can include the entire source for Eclipse. To include or
exclude a particular version of Eclipse in your searches, simply open or
close the corresponding reference project."
Hope this helps,
Eric

First, please quote the message to which you are responding - there are
many threads to read every day and we can not all remember what was said
previously.
Second, I don't understand what you are expecting. What plugins would
you expect to be included that aren't installed when you create the
reference project. Please provide a specific scenario you are trying,
what you expect to get, and how that differs from what you actually get.

I pointed it out in response to someone who suggested creating a project
that referenced all plugins on its classpath. The tool is useful as a
reference, not a "table of contents." With such a project in your
workspace, all of the referenced plugins will be included in things like
Open Type dialog, Java search, etc.
If you want to browse the plugins that are currently installed, I think
Wayne (or someone) already pointed out the Plug-in Registry view and
Plugin Spy.
Hope this helps,
Eric
