Build Identifier: I20110613-1736 Galileo would let a developer copy a list of plugins to the clipboard. Indigo has taken away this ability to copy a list of plugins to the clipboard. What do we do now ? Can we please get this capability back into the product ? Thanks for your consideration. ----------------- USE_CASE: One developer could email another developer a list of plugins loaded in their eclipse by doing these steps in Galileo. • Help >> "Install New Software" • Click on the link titled, "What is already installed ?" • A property page titled, "Eclipse Installation Details" is calculated, then displayed. • Click on the Tab "Installed Software" • Once here, one possible action is to first select what you are interested in. • Then Right-Click. Finally, "Copy" to the clipboard for later use ----------------- USEFULNESS: Developers could send emails like this ... Dear Greg, Here is what I have loaded. Please do the same, to get your build to work.

I cannot reproduce this problem on Windows XP.
(1) I am using MSWIN-7 (not XP) (2) Regardless of the OS, is there any way to cut-and-paste a list of loaded plugins to the clipboard ? (3) I origionally outlined the steps to "do that", in Galileo. (4) It seems (perhaps I'm wrong) that there is *no way* whatsoever to do this task in Indigo. This bug request a way (any way) to cut-and-paste the loaded plugin list, to the clipboard, to share with other developers. (5) Let me repeat the steps below, for how it was done in Galileo --------------------------- • Click Help >> "Install New Software" • Click on the link titled, "What is already installed ?" • A property page titled, "Eclipse Installation Details" is calculated, then displayed. • Click on the Tab "Installed Software" • Once here, one possible action is to first select what you are interested in. Then Right-Click. Finally, "Copy" to the clipboard for later use • Example: JBoss Maven Integration 1.0.1.v201006011046R-H111-GA org.jboss.tools.maven.feature.feature.group ---------------
(In reply to comment #2) > (1) I am using MSWIN-7 (not XP) I noticed this but did not deem it to be something that would cause such a bug to manifest itself. > (5) Let me repeat the steps below, for how it was done in Galileo Which part of your Galileo steps doesn't work in Indigo? I see nothing you listed that is missing or doesn't work in Indigo. Unless it is the final 'Copy' part that doesn't seem to

(In reply to comment #4) > Created attachment 203306 [details] > Indigo behavior: Screen Recording. Unzip. Open HTML file. You did not mention the 'Plug-ins' tab in your comment 0 or comment 2. In any case, your described steps in your Flash video does not work in Galileo either. Copy stuff from the 'Installed Software' tab instead.
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) -------------- (1) I'll close the bug. Thanks for helping. (2) I might file an enhancement to *add* copy-to-clipboard, for the grids displayed in the "Features" and "Plugins" tabs. (3) As a summary, "things" are equal, between these 2 releases. (My mistake) -------------- Galileo { Tab=Installed Software: *Works* and is useful Tab=Features: Not Implemented (No Copy to Clipboard) Tab=Plugins: Not Implemented (No Copy to Clipboard) } Indigo { Tab=Installed Software: *Works* and is useful Tab=Features: Not Implemented (No Copy to Clipboard) Tab=Plugins: Not Implemented (No Copy to Clipboard) }
