I have an eclipse RCP that needs to find out all the installed jre's. I know that eclipse preferences has a tab where we can find all the installed jre's. Is there any way I can programmatically get the list of jre's ? Or can I create a preferences view in my RCP and show the default eclipse preferences?

Thanks.

I believe you can use the JavaRuntime to see what is available:

IVMInstallType[] types = JavaRuntime.getVMInstallTypes();

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following

IVMInstallType[] types = JavaRuntime.getVMInstallTypes();
for (int i = 0; i < types.length; i++) {
IVMInstall[] installs = types[i].getVMInstalls();
}

But the getVMInstalls which gives the list of registered VMs, is always empty.
The 'types' though are found , 3 in number.

How does eclipse find out the list of installed Jre's in the system??
