Plug-in Registry

The Plug-in Registry view shows the state of all plug-ins in the running instance of Eclipse. The view is available under Window > Show View > Other... > PDE Runtime > Plug-in Registry .

State of the Plug-in

For each plug-in in the running system, the view shows:

- the plug-in ID and version
- the plug-in state (e.g. active or inactive - Note: the active state is indicated by a green overlay icon)
- the plug-in location
- the plug-in runtime libraries
- the plug-in dependencies
- the plug-in extensions
- the plug-in extension points it contributes

Plug-in Filtering

The Show Active Plug-ins menu item is a filter that removes all inactive plug-ins from the view. To re-add them, press the menu item again. This filtering action is also available from the view's toolbar drop down menu.
