Gary Gutting has a fine book, What Philosophers Know which focusses on this question with regard to fairly contemporary "analytic" philosophy. The answer is, in general, very little (as the survey rofflewoffles posted also shows).

How about Plantinga's writings themselves? He devotes about 60 pages to the problem of evil in this book. A good secondary source is the chapter entitled "Turning the Tables: Plantinga and the Rise of Philosophy of Religion" in the book I quoted from in a previous post, What Philosophers Know: Case Studies in Recent Analytic Philosophy.

There's also this paper by Plantinga, "Degenerate Evidence and Rowe's New Evidential Argument from Evil", which is a more recent (well, 1998) take on his thoughts on the problem of evil. I haven't read it, though, so I don't know if it touches on what we've been discussing.

The bottom line is that it's hardly fair, or intellectually honest(if you ask me) to dismiss something before reading it for yourself. You may very well read Plantinga and discover that what he says is laughable, but you're currently in no position to do so, having not even read him yourself.
