What is the eclipse global ecore resource set

I would like to conceptually understand how Eclipse keeps track of its current resources in its environment, specifically (.ecore) files.

For example, when I right-click on an ecore file and click "Load Resources" and then click the button "Browse registered packages" (see the picture below), how eclipse populates this list.

If you want to access this information programmatically, have a look at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE, it contains the global EPackage registry used by EMF.

This list is populated by the extensions declared in the file plugin.xml of the Eclipse plugin with a model generated by EMF (create a genmodel for your ecore and generate the model part of the code by right-clicking on the root of the genmodel). Here is an example of the result for a Dart metamodel.
