You cannot see where Eclipse ends and a product starts, and this is intentional.  The platform itself is written entirely as a set of plug-ins, and the product plug-ins simply join the “soup of swimming plug-ins.” To bring some order to the chaos, the  platform does maintain a history of configurations. When a new plug-in is installed,  a new configuration is created. To obtain insights into the current configuration of  the platform and its update history, consult either '''Help &gt; About... &gt; Configuration Details''' or the Update Manager. There you can discover the installed plug-ins that are part of the Eclipse Platform and those that were installed afterward.

Having said that, an Eclipse-based product can exert a certain amount of  branding on the appearance of the final application.  In particular, a product will usually replace the workbench window icon and splash screen. The product can also configure a set of preferences that will ship as the defaults for users of that product.  See Chapter 14 for more details on productizing an Eclipse offering.
