I tried in public void run(IAction action) invoke my function:
private void findDepends() {
ResourcesPlugin plugin =3D ResourcesPlugin.getPlugin();
URL pluginDir =3D plugin.find(new Path(".."));
System.out.println(pluginDir);
...
}

You can't. There is no "plugins" home. The plugins reside where they
were installed. This can be in multiple locations.

There is no concept of a plugin calling your action. What do you need
this for? Maybe we can come up with what is really needed.

I presume when you say install a plugin, you actually mean import the
plugin into your workspace for development. That is different then
install. Installing a plugin means making it available for Eclipse to
use as a plugin, and if a required plugin is not there, looking at all
of the installed plugins won't help because it isn't there to be found.

Please read:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-does-plugins/PDE -intro.html

This will explain how you do plugin development.
