I am running Eclipse version 4.3.1 (JEE Kepler). First we need to open the OSGi console of the running Eclipse instance. For that we need to open up the 'Console view' first via:Then you need to selecton the sub-toolbar in this Console view as shown in the image below.As soon as you go to this console view, you will see below WARNING, which is quite OK since our intention is also to connect to the running instance of Eclipse.If you are already familiar with OSGi console in OSGi software development, then most likely you know how to find details about the plugins. However even if you are new to OSGi, no need to worry. You simple have to enter "ss" command in this console to see the list of bundles with id and state. I got a list of 822 plugins and below is a trimmed down version of the output I received.If you are interested in finding further details about these OSGi bundles, you can enter 'help' in the OSGi console and find the list of commands to try out.
