Hi,
When using eclipse 3.4.1, if I extracted eclipse into some central place
on my machine and then et the permissions on it so that, when invoked by a
normal user (e.g. my own personal user account) it could NOT write to that
directory, installing plugins would magically go into the .eclipse folder
for that particular build and everything worked.
Starting with 3.4.2, this behaviour seems to have changed because
installing plugins and restarting eclipse results in the error box being
displayed, and the log shows it seems to think it is missing all the key
jar files.
So, two my two questions are as follows:
1) what changed in the handling of dependencies between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2
that caused such huge behavioural differences?
2) If the way I had it working before was a fluke and has just become
deprecated, why was it not explicitly mentioned somewhere and a new
solution for per-user plugins documented? I have searched and searched and
every other solution refers to parts of the software update GUI that no
longer exist in 3.4+(like managed configuration.....can't find it any more
on OS X), or dropins folder which i cannot seem to get update sites to
install to.
Would really appreciate advice because 3.4.2 contains some nice fixes to a
few issues, but not being able to get plugins working is becoming a real
show stopper for me.
Cheers, Alex J Burke.

Routing to equinox, p2 is responsible for finding plugins in 3.4.x
Have you run the steps for multi-user installs [1] when you created the
3.4.1 install? How did you update to 3.4.2, using
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede ?
Later,

Hi,
Sorry it's taken a while to reply....I thought I had posted one and then
noticed that it seems to have been eaten. Here is attempt number two.
To try to isolate the issue I decided to do a fresh install of 3.4.2 based
on the multi-user instructions you presented - although that is the
process I had largely been using. Specifically, it is the installation
area I made read only.
I extracted 3.4.2, made sure it is read-only for normal users (including
myself), and then ran ./eclipse -initialise to set the configuration as
the user owning the platform. So far so good, and eclipse came up.
Now, I went into the software updates, added the site for AnyEdit and
installed version 2.2.0. When presented with the option I opted to restart
eclipse, and on next load I was presented with "An error has occurred."
The following is an excerpt from the log that was generated:

It seems to go on for almost ever core jar until it mentions that jar file
version constraints were not met for AnyEdit.
One curious thing, the extensions folder for 3.4.1 was named:
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.4.0_1916030313
but for 3.4.2:
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.4.0_1916030312
Does it think it somehow went back a version? Could this be related?
Btw, if there is anything else I can provide please just let me know, this
is a really irritating one! As I said this is happening on everything
3.4.2 and over.
Cheers, Alex J Burke.
