What is good way to find out what eclipse version is installed? My code must ensure to integrate properly with Eclipse platform
and when user selects Eclipse install root, I need to decide - if it is 3.4 eclipse and search for "dropins" directory, or it
is earlier Eclipse platform with "plugins" directory?

Well, versions prior to 3.4 won't even have a dropins directory, os you
could just look for that and if its there assume you are dealing with 3.4.
The only other idea I have is to look in the features directory for a
directory name that begins with "org.eclipse.platform_3.4" as opposed to
"org.eclipse.platform_3.3"
Hope this helps,
Eric

How about parsing Platform.getProduct().getDescription() ?

from the formulation of the question, I was under the impression that he
was looking for that information from outside of eclipse. in that case,
looking at the plugin version might be better. another problem might
exist for derived products and might have a different topology on disk
(or even eclipse 3.4 with some shared install)

Exactly, idea is to find Eclipse version, not starting it. And, of course, there is problem with derived products, like RAD,
JBuilder and etc. - for all products I need to specify different integration scenario (my tool helps to integrate product as
plugin for Eclipse, regarding the Eclipse version or derivation )
