Michael Scharf, in his blog, explains how to start an OSGi console, which is needed to get loaded plug-ins and a stracktrace of all threads in Eclipse 3.2. He says, “On windows you have to start eclipse with java.exe (instead of javaw.exe) in order to get a console window. Therefore, add -vm C:\YOURVMPATH\bin\java.exe to the eclipse start command (or shortcut), to get the OSGI console -consol as startup parameter.

Now to see all plugins (and the state of the plugins) simply type ss into the console. To get a stacktrace of all threads, hit ctrl-break in the console window.”
