Get list of installed software in eclipse through program

Using Platform.getBundleGroupProviders() and org.eclipse.core.runtime.IBundleGroup I am able to retrieve the list of installed features in Eclipse, but, is there an API through which I can get the list of installed software?

Thanks for your help!

Solution

  • This code lists all the installable units in the current profile:

    ProvisioningUI provisioningUI = ProvisioningUI.getDefaultUI();

String profileId = provisioningUI.getProfileId();

ProvisioningSession provisioningSession = provisioningUI.getSession();

IProfileRegistry profileReg = (IProfileRegistry)provisioningSession.getProvisioningAgent().getService(IProfileRegistry.SERVICE_NAME);

IQueryable<IInstallableUnit> queryable = profileReg.getProfile(profileId);

IQuery<IInstallableUnit> query = QueryUtil.createIUAnyQuery();

IQueryResult<IInstallableUnit> result = queryable.query(query, new NullProgressMonitor());

for (final IInstallableUnit iu : result)
  {
    System.out.println(iu);
  }

    I have left out lots of null checks and exception catching.

    You can use QueryUtil to create various other queries such as IUs which are groups.
