I am trying to figure out which features I have installed into my driver. There are several places in Eclipse that list features, and they all give different answers.

For example I am trying to determine which version of org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature I have installed.

If I look at Help->About, Configuration details I see:

  ID: org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature, Version: 3.0.1.v200807220139-7C7_EV6E_EkMNrNZWGV9bi

  ID: org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature.patch, Version: 3.0.1.v200809050725-35_C9oA55S5U7B6H_N

If I look at Help->Software Updates... , Installed Software, I see:

WST Common Core 3.0.3.v200810081400

If I look at Help->About, Feature Details, I don't see any entries for my feature. :-) 

This is all just very confusing. Is there an API that I can call to get an authoritative list of all of the installed features?

This defect would be to improve the documentation. To point developers to an API (if there is one) for getting the list of features, and to describe what these existing lists are actually listing.
