Save your bundle context in your plugin activator. Then you can use
MyPlugin.getDefault().getBundleTypeInformation() ... etc.

Yup, that's what I would do.

Then you can retrieve it from MyPlugin.getDefault().getSomething() ...
or have your plugin do the work and return the results you need:

MyPlugin.getDefault().getInstalledPlugins() ... returns String[]

Then your view doesn't have to know about BundleContexts and stuff.

Hi,

the standard About Dialog display a nice list of installed plugins and its
sourcecode org.eclipse.ui.internal.dialogs.AboutDialog is a nice example
on how to assemble that information.

You can add the standard about dialog to any MenuManager by doing
menuManager.add(ActionFactory.ABOUT.create(window)); for example from an
RCP application's ActionBarAdvisor.

Regards from Cologne,

Sorry forgot this one, also the plugins-view is nice and does provide more
than just a view of the installed plugins ...It is available at Show View
-> Others -> PDE -> Plugins with the sourcecode being at
org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.view.PluginsView

It requires the pde.ui plugin plus what some dependencies of that one
though.

Regards, Stepan
