How to determine availability of tools and plugins

I have two questions:

1. Is there any way by macro or JavaScript to determine if a given tool(set) is loaded?
That is, available as icon(s) in the toolbar, but not necessarily active/selected.
I want to notify the user in a macro if a missing tool needs to be loaded.

2. Is there any way by macro or JavaScript to determine if a given plugin is available?
That is, available in the menus so that it can be called using run("<Plugin Name>").
I want to notify a user if a needed plugin is missing, with instructions where to get it.

Yes I know that 2) would be possible by parsing the output from List.setCommands;
I just wondered if there is a more direct way to do it. The toolset I want loaded for 1)
has some macros installed, but they do not appear in List.setCommands.

Re: How to determine availability of tools and plugins

Dear Stein,

re 2. I use:

function check4Plugins() {
nmeArray = newArray( "Plugin-name#1", "Plugin-name#2" );
List.setCommands;
for ( i=0; i<nmeArray.length; i++ ) {
if ( List.get(nmeArray[i]) == "" ) {
exit( "The ImageJ-PlugIn \"" + nmeArray[i] + "\" must be installed!" );
}
}
}

I faintly remember that Wayne has recommended this or a similar approach.

Regards

Herbie

Dear Stein,

This macro lists informations about current tools:

n=eval('js','IJ.getInstance().getComponents()[0].getNumTools() ');
for (i=0;i<n;i++) {
setTool(i);
s=eval('js','IJ.getInstance().getComponents()[1].getComponents()[0].getText()');
name = IJ.getToolName() ;
print (i, ";", name, ";", s);
}

Re: How to determine availability of tools and plugins

Thanks,

Just what I was looking for!

My toolset loads 8 tools but only 6 of them is listed in this script.
But that is still good enough to identify if my toolset is loaded or not.

Dear Stein,

re 2. I use:

function check4Plugins() {
nmeArray = newArray( "Plugin-name#1", "Plugin-name#2" );
List.setCommands;
for ( i=0; i<nmeArray.length; i++ ) {
if ( List.get(nmeArray[i]) == "" ) {
exit( "The ImageJ-PlugIn \"" + nmeArray[i] + "\" must be installed!" );
}
}
}

I faintly remember that Wayne has recommended this or a similar approach.
