Description Lars Vogel

I frequently have to find for a plugin the feature to which it belongs. I would be great if the "Plug-ins" tab could have a button feature which would find the features to which this plugin belongs.

This would be a good feature. Seems like a good candidate for bugday.

Lars,
what is the use case?

I'm asking because it may be more desired to extend/change Plug-in Dependencies view, because I'd think that one is more concerned about plugins/features that are in a target platform than those actually installed.

Thanks for the clarification, I agree this request is about finding the feature for a plug-in from the target platform. In RCP development you frequently need to find the feature which contains a plug-in if you have a product configuration file based on features.

That's what I thought :).
So, what about extending the 'Feature Selection' dialog to offer you a feature if you type plugin id ? Sounds good?

Krzysztof's latest patch has been approved.  Thanks!

I will make an additional commit to surround the ids with single quotes.

The feature is nice but hard to discover. I filed bug 415222 to fix this.
