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
