Description Nick Edgar CLA 2004-04-08 16:03:42 EDT 
build I20040330

In the AboutPluginsDialog, rather than getting the list of plugins by iterating
over the IBundleGroupProviders, we should just get the complete list from Runtime.
The IBundleGroupProviders may not cover all plugins.

See bug 54574 for more details.
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-04-08 16:04:42 EDT 
Should check how we used to get the list of plugins.
Comment 2 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-04-08 16:46:42 EDT 
I talked to pascal about this.  The way to get a complete list of bundles is to 
store a reference to the BundleContext that is passed to the plugin's start 
method.  Then BundleContext.getBundles can be used.

I'll make that change as part of moving the AboutDialog into workbench.

Is bug 59378 which I just entered related to this?
Comment 4 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-05-05 10:33:42 EDT 
This fix has been released to HEAD.

The list of plugins now comes from the BundleContext, which is stored when the 
workbench plugin is started.
