Interfaces
IAdaptable	An interface for an adaptable object.
IAdapterFactory	An adapter factory defines behavioral extensions for one or more classes that implements the `IAdaptable` interface.
IAdapterManager	An adapter manager maintains a registry of adapter factories.
IBundleGroup	Bundle groups represent a logical collection of plug-ins (aka bundles).
IBundleGroupProvider	Bundle group providers define groups of plug-ins which have been installed in the current system.
IConfigurationElement	A configuration element, with its attributes and children, directly reflects the content and structure of the extension section within the declaring plug-in's manifest (`plugin.xml`) file.
IContributor	This interface describes a registry contributor - an entity that supplies information to the extension registry.
IExecutableExtension	Interface for executable extension classes that require access to their configuration element, or implement an extension adapter.
IExecutableExtensionFactory	This interface allows extension providers to control how the instances provided to extension-points are being created by referring to the factory instead of referring to a class.
IExtension	An extension declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionDelta	An extension delta represents changes to the extension registry.
IExtensionPoint	An extension point declared in a plug-in.
IExtensionRegistry	The extension registry holds the master list of all discovered namespaces, extension points and extensions.
ILibrary	A runtime library declared in a plug-in.
ILog	A log to which status events can be written.
ILogListener	A log listener is notified of entries added to a plug-in's log.
IPath	A path is an ordered collection of string segments, separated by a standard separator character, "/".
IPlatformRunnable	Bootstrap type for the platform.
IPluginDescriptor	A plug-in descriptor contains information about a plug-in obtained from the plug-in's manifest (`plugin.xml`) file.
IPluginPrerequisite	A prerequisite entry declared by a plug-in.
IPluginRegistry	The plug-in registry holds the master list of all discovered plug-ins, extension points, and extensions.
IProduct	Products are the Eclipse unit of branding.
IProductProvider	Product providers define products (units of branding) which have been installed in the current system.
IProgressMonitor	The `IProgressMonitor` interface is implemented by objects that monitor the progress of an activity; the methods in this interface are invoked by code that performs the activity.
IProgressMonitorWithBlocking	An extension to the IProgressMonitor interface for monitors that want to support feedback when an activity is blocked due to concurrent activity in another thread.
IRegistryChangeEvent	Registry change events describe changes to the extension registry.
IRegistryChangeListener	A registry change listener is notified of changes to extensions points in the registry.
ISafeRunnable	Safe runnables represent blocks of code and associated exception handlers.
IStatus	A status object represents the outcome of an operation.
Preferences.IPropertyChangeListener	Listener for property changes.

Classes
Assert	`Assert` is useful for for embedding runtime sanity checks in code.
ContributorFactoryOSGi	The contributor factory creates new registry contributors for use in OSGi-based registries.
ContributorFactorySimple	The contributor factory creates new registry contributors for use in a simple registry based on the String representation of the determining object.
FileLocator	This class contains collection of helper methods aimed at finding files in bundles.
ListenerList	This class is a thread safe list that is designed for storing lists of listeners.
MultiStatus	A concrete multi-status implementation, suitable either for instantiating or subclassing.
NullProgressMonitor	A default progress monitor implementation suitable for subclassing.
Path	The standard implementation of the `IPath` interface.
PerformanceStats	PerformanceStats collects and aggregates timing data about events such as a builder running, an editor opening, etc.
PerformanceStats.PerformanceListener	A performance listener is periodically notified after performance events occur or after events fail.
Platform	The central class of the Eclipse Platform Runtime.
PlatformObject	An abstract superclass implementing the `IAdaptable` interface.
Plugin	The abstract superclass of all plug-in runtime class implementations.
PluginVersionIdentifier	Version identifier for a plug-in.
Preferences	A table of preference settings, mapping named properties to values.
Preferences.PropertyChangeEvent	An event object describing a change to a named property.
ProgressMonitorWrapper	An abstract wrapper around a progress monitor which, unless overridden, forwards `IProgressMonitor` and `IProgressMonitorWithBlocking` methods to the wrapped progress monitor.
QualifiedName	Qualified names are two-part names: qualifier and local name.
RegistryFactory	Use this class to create or obtain an extension registry.
SafeRunner	Runs the given ISafeRunnable in a protected mode: exceptions thrown in the runnable are logged and passed to the runnable's exception handler.
Status	A concrete status implementation, suitable either for instantiating or subclassing.
SubProgressMonitor	A progress monitor that uses a given amount of work ticks from a parent monitor.

Exceptions
AssertionFailedException	`AssertionFailedException` is a runtime exception thrown by some of the methods in `Assert`.
CoreException	A checked exception representing a failure.
InvalidRegistryObjectException	An unchecked exception indicating that an attempt to access an extension registry object that is no longer valid.
OperationCanceledException	This exception is thrown to blow out of a long-running method when the user cancels it.
