<p class="style1">Plug-in Registry</p>
<p>The <strong>Plug-in Registry</strong> view shows the state of all plug-ins in the running instance of Eclipse. The<strong> </strong>view is available under <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.pde.runtime.RegistryBrowser)")'>

</a>. </p>
<p><img src="../../images/views/plugin_registry.png" alt="Plug-in Registry" hspace="30"></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="style2">State of the Plug-in</p>
<p>For each plug-in in the running system, the view shows:</p>
<ul>
<li>the plug-in ID and version</li>
<li>the plug-in state (e.g. <em>active</em> or <em>inactive</em> - Note: the active state is indicated by a green overlay icon)</li>
<li>the plug-in location</li>
<li>the plug-in runtime libraries </li>
<li>the plug-in dependencies</li>
<li>the plug-in extensions</li>
<li>the plug-in extension points it contributes</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="style2">Plug-in Filtering</p>
<p>The <strong>Show Active Plug-ins</strong> menu item is a filter that removes all inactive plug-ins from the view. To re-add them, press the menu item again. This filtering action is also available from the view's toolbar drop down menu.</p>
