Hi, I am trying to start my Eclipse installation with a couple of new
plug-ins at \dropins directory and I get always this error at
\.metadata\.log file:

I have search the web but didn't find any explanation or solution.

Thanks in advance,

Ok I have more updates. it seems that I am getting this error when eclispe starts up, in several places (originally I thought it only occurs when I choose the update manager).

Does anyone know where the "Registry Directory" is supposed to be? The error is no descriptive at all, it fails because an unavailable registry directory but it doesn't tell me where equinox looks for it.

I resolved the error. You need to change the eclipse.p2.data.area in the config.ini file to point to the correct directory.

Lets hope that next time the developers of equinox will provide us with more informative error messages.
