The externalPackages will be empty if the external failed to load. The
externals property reports the path to the external file on disk. The
externalPackages will report the names of the externals that were
successfully loaded.

If the externals property is pointing to the property external file on
disk, you can make sure the "destroyWindow" property of the stack is set to
true, close the stack, and then open it again. This will attempt to reload
the external.
