We should addsome info to teh Tigerstripe Dialog that pops up from the <Tigerstripe> Menu : Installed modules Installed Plugins
To clarify.... The Tigerstripe Menu contains (amongst other things) a "Plugins" option that pops up a dialog listing the plugins available for generation. The label here is a old misnomer - what is listed are Tigerstripe "Generators" which may or may not be eclipse plugins. Maybe that label could be updated at the same time! We have recently added the capability to "contribute" models ( known as "modules" in this mode) through eclipse plugins, using an extension point. These are read-only, but can be used for extension. So the user might install a foundation model, and be allowed to extend it, but not to edit it. Currently there is no way for the user to view the list of "contributed" (aka "installed") modules in a given eclipse install. (The only way to do this is to create a model and go through the process of adding references - and even then the user has to sub-consciously filetr out projects for installed Modules). The requirement here is to show a list of the "contributed" modules. There is no add/remove or other action required - simply display.
Yo can get to these using the class org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.internal.core.module.InstalledModuleManager public InstalledModule[] getModules() That should do the trick!

Created attachment 174071 [details] Path#2 Modified dialog to only display Model ID and Version. This patch doesn't include the icon used for the command. Icon will be attached separately.
